Massive Train Collision in Beijing Leaves Over 500 Injured
Two subway trains collided in heavy snow in Beijing, injuring 515 people, including 102 with broken bones. Slippery tracks caused the leading train to automatically brake, while the following train skidded and was unable to stop in time. All passengers were evacuated, and 67 remained hospitalized. Unusually heavy snowfall has led to train suspensions and school closures in Beijing, with alerts for icy roads and extreme cold. No deaths have been reported from the winter storms.
