PARIS, June 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A landslip caused by heavy rains Tuesday
led three carriages of a Paris suburban RER train to overturn, slightly
injuring seven people, France’s transport minister said.
“There has been… a landslip on the RER B” between the southern suburbs of
St-Remy-les-Chevreuse and Orsay, the minister, Elisabeth Borne, told
Franceinfo radio. It caused “three carriages to overturn. Fortunately, there
are only seven slightly injured.”
