After Spain was hit with its own train disasters, several freight train wagons have derailed in Poland.
A Szczecin-Chełm freight train derailed at approximately 1:00 a.m. on the night from Monday to Tuesday, Feb, 3, near Jaroszowa Wola (Piaseczno County) in Masovia, near Warsaw.
Eight carriages came off the tracks, two of them falling down an embankment. There are no reports of casualties, according to Do Rzeczy, unlike the recent train crashes in Spain.
Łukasz Darmofalski from the Piaseczno fire department told TVN24 that work is currently underway to prepare to tow away the part of the train that did not derail and the second train that stopped on the opposite track.
The causes of the incident are not yet known and are being determined by a special commission.
Deputy Minister of Interior and Administration Wiesław Szczepański stated in an interview with RMF FM that the probable cause was a traction network failure caused by low temperatures.
The derailment occurred on a route used only by freight trains, meaning passenger traffic should not be impacted.
