Accident casts shadow over reputation of transportation system
Denmark prides itself on having a safe transportation system, but there have been accidents in the past.
In 2019, a train crash left eight dead and 16 injured. In August last year, one person died and 27 were injured after a train collided with a slurry tanker and derailed in southern Denmark, near the German border.
