Six people were killed Wednesday and an unspecified number were injured in a train accident on a bridge connecting two islands in Denmark, rail operator DSB said. The accident occurred around 7:30am (0630 GMT) on the Great Belt Bridge connecting the islands of Zealand, where Copenhagen is located, and Funen. Passenger Heidi Langberg Zumbusch had just boarded the train and taken her seat when the accident happened. We flew down onto the floor, and then the train stopped,” she told Danish public broadcaster DR.“We were lucky. Car and rail traffic on the bridge were closed for several hours due to the accident, but car traffic towards Zealand later resumed while rail traffic remained shut in both directions.
