法国海峡隧道装载区小巴撞上穿梭列车：19人受伤、无人有生命危险，欧洲之星与货运未受影响
巴黎——据路透社10月15日报道，法国北部海峡隧道（Channel Tunnel）的一处装载平台当天傍晚发生相撞事故：一辆小巴撞上一列列车，至少19人受伤，其中包括小巴司机；法国地方当局表示，所有伤者均无生命危险。事发地在加来附近的科凯勒（Coquelles）欧洲隧道场站。
据法国省府（prefecture）声明，这辆小巴载着正准备登乘Le Shuttle穿梭列车的卡车司机，撞上的是一列即将发车的列车。省府表示，救护车、一架直升机与警察已赶到现场。
据媒体转述加来副省长阿加特·屈里（Agathe Cury）的说法，事故发生在当地时间傍晚7时27分左右，装载站台两侧各有一列穿梭列车，一列正在装载卡车、另一列此前已装载完毕即将发车，小巴撞上的是后者；小巴没有倾覆。受伤者包括欧洲隧道的一名司机与18名乘客，其中两人伤势严重、由直升机送往里尔的医院，其余伤者被送往加来、滨海布洛涅、敦刻尔克与朗迪弗利耶等地医院；屈里表示，无人有生命危险。
屈里还表示，为疏散伤者，通行曾短暂暂停，但事故没有扰乱货运服务与欧洲之星（Eurostar）客运。欧洲之星向BBC表示，这起事故不涉及往返伦敦的欧洲之星列车、也不对其造成影响，其所有列车将按计划运行。
Minibus Hits Shuttle Train at Channel Tunnel Loading Platform in France: 19 Injured, None Life-Threatening; Eurostar and Freight Traffic Unaffected
Paris — At least 19 people were injured on Thursday evening, October 15, after a minibus collided with a train at a loading platform for the Channel Tunnel in northern France, Reuters reported, citing the local prefect's office. None of the injuries were life-threatening, the prefecture said in a statement, adding that ambulances, a helicopter and police were at the scene. The site is the Eurotunnel terminal at Coquelles, near Calais.
In a later statement, the prefecture said the minibus was carrying truck drivers who were preparing to board the Le Shuttle service on the loading platform, and that the minibus crashed into a train that was about to leave.
According to media reports citing Calais sub-prefect Agathe Cury, the crash happened at about 7:27 p.m. local time, when a shuttle train stood on each side of the loading dock — one being loaded with lorries to travel through the Channel Tunnel, the other previously loaded and about to depart — and the bus struck the train that was about to depart. The bus did not overturn. The injured were the Eurotunnel driver and 18 passengers; two of the victims were seriously injured and were airlifted to a hospital in Lille, while the others were sent to hospitals in Calais, Boulogne, Dunkirk and Rang-du-Fliers. Cury said no one's life is in danger.
Cury also said there was a brief pause in transit to evacuate the injured, but that the incident did not disrupt freight services or Eurostar passenger traffic. Eurostar told the BBC that the incident does not involve or impact Eurostar trains running to and from London, and that all of its trains will run as expected.
