An Berger

An Berger, aged 27, was a chaperone on a minibus carrying special needs children when it collided with a high-speed train in Buggenhout, Belgium. The incident occurred during the morning rush hour when the minibus reportedly drove through closed crossing barriers. Tragically, four people lost their lives in the collision, including two children aged 12 and 15, the driver (49), and Berger herself. The minibus was en route to a special education school, primarily serving secondary school students. The accident has prompted investigations into the cause of the crash and highlights the dangers faced by vulnerable road users at railway crossings. Berger's death, alongside the other victims, underscores the devastating impact of this event.
