A collision between a train and a school bus at a level crossing in the small Belgian town of Buggenhout on Tuesday morning killed four people and injured five children.
"This is one of the worst accidents in the history of Belgium at a level crossing," Thomas Baeken, spokesperson of the Belgium Railway Infrastructure Manager Infrabel, said.
Nine passengers were aboard the minivan, including seven children and two adults. The bus was heading to a school for children who have specific needs in Buggenhout.
