2013 derailment
On 12 July 2013, an intercity train from Paris Gare d'Austerlitz to Limoges derailed and crashed at the station, killing at least six people and injuring "dozens" more.[2] 385 passengers were on board at the time of the crash.[2][3]
Initial reports suggest the train, which was not scheduled to stop at the station, split in two,[2] causing the rear four carriages to collide with the station platforms.[2][3]
