A Greek police statement also said two other people have been detained for questioning
The stationmaster in the city of Larissa was arrested, Greek police said Wednesday, following a head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train outside a nearby town that flattened carriages, killed at least 36 people and injured some 85.
Many of the approximately 350 people aboard the passenger train were students returning from Greece’s raucous Carnival, officials said. This year was the first time the three-day festival, which precedes Lent, was celebrated in full since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Survivors said the impact threw several passengers through the windows of train cars. They said others fought to free themselves after the passenger train buckled, slamming into a field near the gorge, about 380 kilometers north of Athens.
Greece’s firefighting service said some 66 people were hospitalized, including six in intensive care.
