11 killed, 2 hurt after test train crashes into workers in southwestern China

The test train hit workers on a curved track section, killing 11 and injuring 2; emergency plans were activated and rail services resumed by midday, authorities said.

  • On Thursday, the Kunming Railway Bureau said a seismic-equipment test train collided with construction workers at Luoyangzhen station in Kunming, killing 11 and injuring two.
  • Authorities said a probe is under way after preliminary accounts indicated workers who entered the track area were struck by the test train negotiating a curve at Luoyangzhen station.
  • Railway authorities immediately activated emergency response plans and local government rescue teams organised medical treatment; Luoyangzhen station operations returned to normal by midday Thursday.
  • The crash comes amid China’s national rail network experiencing several deadly accidents in recent years, though fatal incidents have declined since the 2011 Wenzhou crash and 2008 Zibo collision.
  • Recent incidents include the 2022 Rongjiang derailment killing one and injuring 127, with industrial safety critics citing vague regulations and lax standards.
