The Swiss train Glacier Express derailed on July 23, killing one passenger and injuring 42 others. Three first-class wagons came off the track and two of those tipped over. The driver had sped up too fast out of a slow zone, before all train cars had cleared the zone.
This is the most serious accident in the history of the Glacier Express. Operations have resumed.
