1 killed in crash after vehicle drives off overpass, collides with light rail train south of Denver
One person was killed when a vehicle drove off the overpass at the I-25 and C-470 interchange south of the Denver metro area and then was struck by a light rail train early Tuesday morning. The crash happened near 10200 Station Way in Lone Tree just before 2 a.m. According to South Metro Fire Rescue, the driver of a vehicle drove off the overpass and onto the tracks and then was struck by a light rail train. One person in the vehicle died. There was one light rail operator and a passenger on the train at the time of the crash. Neither was injured. Crews continued to work for several hours to remove the train because the vehicle was pinned between the train and the wall. The on-ramp from northbound I-25 from eastbound C-470 was closed during this time and reopened shortly after 6 a.m. Colorado State Patrol and Lone Tree police are investigating the crash. The E Line trips remained suspended during the investigation on Tuesday morning. Shuttles replaced the R Line between Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street and for the H Line between Southmoor and Ridgegate for both north and southbound trips.

The disruption is affecting commuter rails and national and international trains, including Eurostar services. Eurostar planned to cancel all trains to and from Gare du Nord, a company spokesperson told Reuters. Its website advised travellers to reschedule their trips. The bomb was found 2.5 km (1.55 miles) from Gare du Nord, in the middle of the tracks, one of the network's train lines, the H Line, said in a post on messaging platform X. It said train traffic would remain disrupted until the de-mining operation was completed. Paris police said the bomb had been discovered at 3:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) in Saint-Denis, a northern Parisian suburb, during construction work. Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot expected the disruption to continue for at least the rest of the day. About 220 million passengers pass through the Gare du Nord, Europe's busiest train station, each year, travelling to and from destinations in northern France, and London, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, according to the Paris tourist office. Clemence Fandard, an interface designer in Paris, said her 6:20 a.m. train to Amsterdam was initially delayed for 45 minutes before being cancelled. 'I had heard reports of these things happening from time to time,' Fandard said, adding: 'We were unlucky!' Another traveller, Kasman Ibrahimi, said he had planned to catch a train to Cologne in Germany from Gare du Nord but would now look for an alternative route.
