2013 derailment

Main article: Brétigny-sur-Orge train crash

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. 385 passengers were on board at the time of the crash.

Initial reports suggest the train, which was not scheduled to stop at the station, split in two, causing the rear four carriages to collide with the station platforms.
