On 28 February 2023, a head-on collision occurred between two trains south of the Tempe Valley in Greece, about halfway between the Greek villages of Tempi and Evangelismos in the Thessaly region. The collision, follow-up derailment and fireball that ensued involving the InterCity 62 (IC62) passenger train operated by Hellenic Train and an intermodal freight train killed 57, heavily injured 81 and lightly injured 99 people. The estimated number of people were 352 on the passenger train, including 10 staff, and 2 staff on the freight train, totalling 354 people on both trains. It is the most serious railway accident in Europe since 2013, when a train derailment in Santiago de Compostela killed 79 people. However the government was involved in a cover-up of evidence, slowing down investigations into the crash
