A train derailment occurred on Friday evening in Seine-Maritime, a region in northern France, on the Rouen-Caen railway line. The incident took place near the small towns of Cléon and Tourville-la-Rivière around 7:45 PM local time. According to multiple reports, the train involved was carrying approximately 200 passengers, though one source mentioned a slightly lower figure of 180 passengers. The derailment is believed to have occurred between Tourville and Elbeuf-Saint-Aubin, specifically in the commune of Cléon. In response to the incident, the prefecture of Seine-Maritime—France’s regional administrative authority—activated a crisis cell to manage the situation. At 8:00 PM, the prefecture also initiated the Novi plan, part of a national system known as Orsec, which is designed to coordinate emergency responses when there are multiple victims or significant public safety concerns. This plan helps organize search and rescue, medical aid, and logistical support for affected areas. The Minister of Transport, Philippe Tabarot, provided an initial update, stating that preliminary reports indicate "approximately twenty injured." Rescue operations are currently underway at the scene, with the prefect’s office coordinating efforts alongside teams from the SNCF, France’s national railway company. The SNCF is responsible for operating the country's rail network and is typically involved in responding to such incidents. Authorities have advised the public to avoid the area near the derailment site to ensure the safety of rescue teams and prevent further complications. Regular updates about the situation will be provided as more information becomes available. The incident has raised concerns about railway safety in the region, and further investigations will likely be conducted to determine the cause of the derailment.
