Italy Train Accident – level 1

11-02-2020 07:00

There is a train accident in Italy. It happens in the morning. There are about 30 people on the train.

The train travels very fast. The first car on the train leaves the rails. It separates from the train. It hits a building. Two railway workers die. 27 people must go to hospital.

One day before the accident, there is some work on the railway. However, work on railways happens very often. Police do not know why the accident happens. They must investigate the accident.

Railway workers want to protest against the accident. They say that the situation is very serious and wrong.

Difficult words: rails (the tracks that a train travels along), railway (the system of tracks, train stations, and trains), investigate (to find out the facts and details of an event).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
