Eurotunnel terminal collision injures 19 people in France

A collision occurred at the Eurotunnel loading platform in Coquelles, France, involving a minibus and a freight shuttle train. The minibus was transporting heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers who were preparing to board a Le Shuttle service.

At least 19 people, including the minibus driver, were injured in the incident. While some reports indicated five individuals were in serious condition, French authorities confirmed that none of the injuries are considered life-threatening. Two of the injured were airlifted to a hospital in Lille for treatment.

The accident caused a temporary suspension of shuttle traffic through the tunnel for approximately 90 minutes. However, Eurostar passenger services between London and Paris were not impacted and continued to operate according to schedule. An investigation has been launched to determine the exact cause of the collision.
