A train from Wrocław collided with a moose. Urgent announcement from PKP

As of October 1st, PKP (Polish State Railways) has launched new connections between Lower Silesia and northeastern Poland. The Intercity "Słowacki" train runs between Wrocław and Giżycko. The journey takes approximately eight hours, with stops along the way in cities such as Łódź, Warsaw, Ełk, and Białystok.

"This is an important step that residents of the region have been waiting for. Masuria gains quick access to Lower Silesia, and Wrocław residents now have a convenient route to Masuria. This means greater mobility, tourism, and development for both regions," emphasized Małgorzata Kopiczko, Deputy Starost of Ełk County.

According to the railway company's report, nearly 340 passengers were traveling on the Słowacki train. The PKP press office reported that the damaged train slowly reached Racibory station, where all passengers were evacuated.

According to a statement received by WP, passengers had to transfer to a Łódź-Białystok train. Due to the incident, the train was extended to take passengers directly to Giżycko without the need for additional transfers. The total delay was approximately seventy minutes.

PKP representatives assured that no passengers or crew members were injured or harmed in the incident. However, the story has a very sad ending, as preliminary reports indicate that the moose struck by the train did not survive the incident.
