It would seem only a couple of people have been wounded this time. http://www.nu.nl/binnenl...en-trein-bij-winsum.html Please see the twelve individual pictures in the news coverage. Update: 11 wounded carried to hospital. Traindriver and truckdriver escaped unharmed.

And: so many natives can't be wrong..........

Railtraffic should be normal again on Mondaymorning. These are the kind of single track stretches one would think nothing will ever happen. The countryside is nice and quiet,the cows are staring at you,your fellow passengers are half asleep,and once and a while you stop at a small station in the middle of nowhere. I have been on a similar stretch between Groningen and Delfzijl many times before. I guess the two drivers must have seen eachother well before the collision,so why did it happen?
