4 barn döda vid tågolycka i Nederländerna - 180920

Kollisionen inträffade strax före klockan 08.30 på morgonen vid en järnvägsövergång nära en station i staden Oss, som ligger ett par mil väster om Nijmegen.

Barnen skjutsades i en såkallad Stint – en eldriven vagn som i Nederländerna klassas som en moped.

Four children from a Dutch day-care centre, two of them sisters, have died in a collision involving a train and an electric cart driven by a supervisor.

The children were being taken to local schools in the cart when the accident happened on a level crossing in the southern town of Oss, west of Nijmegen.

A fifth child and a woman were critically injured in the crash.

The woman on the back of the cart had just dropped off a child at one school before setting off for another.

Two of the children who died were four years old, and the others were aged six and eight, police said.

Of the five children involved in the tragedy, three were sisters and two of them died. The surviving sister, aged 11, was being treated in hospital along with the 32-year-old woman.
