當?shù)貢r間6月21日下午，以色列南部一列客運列車與一輛運煤卡車相撞，三節(jié)車廂出軌，造成七人死亡，近200人受傷。這是以色列有史以來最嚴重的交通事故之一。 以色列官員強調指出，此次事故是意外，并非恐怖襲擊。外電報道如下：A passenger train plowed into a coal truck Tuesday and sent three cars tumbling off the tracks in a sunflower field in southern Israel, killing seven people and injuring nearly 200 in one of Israel's worst train accidents.
The mangled cars were strewn around the field, far from main roads and cities. Dozens of passengers were thrown from the somersaulting cars.
In a country traumatized by mass casualties after four years of Palestinian suicide bombings, officials emphasized that the collision was an accident, not a terror attack.
Somersaulting在此表示“翻滾的”，somersault原指“筋斗，翻筋斗”。例如：He practiced standing on his head and turning somersaults.（他練習倒立和翻筋斗。）
據(jù)悉，出軌列車共運載了300到400名乘客，與火車相撞時正以每小時80公里的速度行駛。而那輛運煤卡車的載重達40噸，并且司機此前已持續(xù)駕駛了30個小時。
