Train kills 70-year-old woman, critically injures 5-year-old child in Romania
A train collision in Romania’s Ialomița County has killed a 70-year-old woman and left a five-year-old child in critical condition after the pair were struck while crossing railway tracks. The incident occurred Monday evening when an InterRegio train traveling from Constanța to Bucharest hit the victims near an unspecified crossing point, according to reports by *Digi24* and *Adevărul* . None of the train’s approximately 200 passengers required medical attention.
Authorities have not yet released details on whether the crossing was equipped with warning signals or barriers, nor have they confirmed if the victims ignored active warnings. The child remains hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Romanian railway operator CFR has not commented on potential safety upgrades at the site. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing the train crew to determine the exact sequence of events.
