A train making the connection between Rouen and Caen derailed in the Cléon region of Normandy. The incident resulted in 44 injured, according to authorities.

Emergency teams were mobilized to the accident site to provide assistance to the victims and investigate the circumstances of the derailment.

The hypothesis of sabotage is gaining strength after authorities found a rail fragment on the railway track. This discovery fuels suspicions that the derailment may have been caused intentionally.

The case is being investigated by the competent authorities, who are analyzing the evidence found at the scene to determine the exact causes of the accident and confirm or rule out the sabotage theory.

Why this matters

Readers who use this railway line in Normandy now face significant disruptions to regional transport.
