The Court of Justice has sentenced the driver responsible for the 2021 Bertrange train accident to a six-month driving ban and a fine.

The incident on 5 July 2021 saw a train crash into a car which had got stuck in between the barriers. Fortunately, there were no injuries from the accident, as the driver was able to leave her car as soon as she realised she could no longer get off the tracks. Nonetheless, the repercussions were significant for both her car, which was left entirely destroyed, and the CFL.

Train traffic was entirely halted for two days between Luxembourg and Kleinbettingen, whilst cars had to bypass the area.

Found guilty for the accident, the driver was also sentenced to a six-month suspended driving ban and a fine of 500 euros as she endangered the 35 passengers on the train.
