2 March 2023 at 18:31 The death toll rises after the train tragedy in Greece At least 57 people have now been confirmed dead after the train accident in Greece on Tuesday evening. Many Greeks are shocked at how the accident could have happened. This is what the head of the crime technical department in the city of Larissa, Rubini Leontari, told the Greek newspaper Kathimerini on Thursday. The accident happened on Tuesday evening outside Larissa, about 380 kilometers north of Athens. It was a passenger train and a freight train that collided head-on, and at least three carriages caught fire. Around 700 demonstrators gathered on Thursday afternoon outside the headquarters of the Greek railway operator Hellenic Train in Athens to protest against, among other things, the lack of maintenance of the railway network. Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Wednesday that it is probably human error that has led to the fatal accident. The train accident is the worst in Greece since 1972. (NTB)
