The incident occurred on Wednesday at approximately 09:08, when train wagons derailed at the entrance to the railway station in Đurđevac. The incident took place just before the train was due to enter the station; the train involved was travelling on the Zagreb–Osijek route. According to available information, the train was crossing an automatic switch at the time of the accident, which was a key factor contributing to the incident.
As a result, rail traffic in this part of Croatia has been suspended indefinitely. This disruption significantly affects the regular operation of rail services, and passengers who planned to travel on these routes will need to anticipate delays or changes to their travel plans. Further details regarding the duration of the disruption and possible alternative arrangements for passengers are not yet available, but supervisory authorities have been notified of the incident and are conducting necessary checks to ensure safety and restore normal rail operations in this part of Croatia as soon as possible.
