  "account": "A minibus carrying truck drivers collided with a train in the Channel Tunnel linking France and England on Thursday, resulting in 19 injuries and causing delays in cross-Channel traffic, according to French authorities. The minibus was on its way to the tunnel entrance when it deviated and collided with the side of the shuttle train, according to the regional prefecture. Two individuals were hospitalized with serious injuries, while 17 others suffered minor injuries, including the minibus driver. Emergency services responded to the scene, which was located near Calais, France. The shuttle train service was halted for 90 minutes before resuming late in the evening, with Eurostar passenger trains and freight services remaining unaffected. The casualties were of various nationalities, and consulates have been notified, though the specific countries were not disclosed. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with authorities noting that it is the first such incident at the loading area for the trains.",
