A train crashes into a school bus in Buggenhout, a town in northern Belgium, killing at least four people and injuring additional passengers, according to Belgian officials and international reporting. Multiple outlets cite Interior Minister Bernard Quintin, who says the collision occurs at a level crossing about 1 kilometer from Buggenhout station and affects a school bus carrying children and adults.

Reuters-based reports and local media describe the crash as happening on Tuesday morning, with one account placing the time around 0608 GMT. The New York Times and DW report that two teenagers and two adults are among the dead, while CBS and other outlets initially report fatalities without specifying numbers. Officials confirm the fatalities and injuries, but some details are still described as incomplete or reported without a final confirmed figure across sources.

All coverage focuses on the same incident location and general circumstances: a train hits a school bus/minibus at the crossing in Buggenhout as the train approaches its next stop.
