Roeux level crossing accident kills 14-year-old adolescent

A 14-year-old adolescent was killed after being struck by a regional train at a level crossing in Roeux, Pas-de-Calais, on Sunday evening. The accident occurred around 8:00 PM when a group of four youths was near the crossing.

The train, a TER service traveling between Amiens and Lille, was carrying 98 passengers and three SNCF employees at the time of the collision. Following the incident, rail traffic between Arras and Douai was interrupted, and SNCF provided buses to transport affected passengers.

Authorities have organized emergency medical-psychological support for the victim's family, witnesses, and passengers. An investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident is pending.
