Strasbourg - Two trams collided in Strasbourg in eastern France on Saturday, causing dozens of injuries, though none critical, authorities said.
The accident took place during the afternoon in a tunnel leading to the station near the city’s central train station.
An additional 100 people, though uninjured, were assessed for shock or stress, said René Cellier, director of the Bas-Rhin Fire and Rescue Service. Emergency services deployed 130 firefighters, 50 rescue vehicles and established a wide safety perimeter, according to the Associated Press (AP).
The exact cause of the collision was unclear but local media reported that one of the trams was reversing at the time.
