Early reports suggest multiple injuries, though the exact number remains unclear. British holidaymakers are being warned to exercise caution if travelling in the region.
The train, a popular open-air vehicle used to ferry tourists around the festival, reportedly toppled on a sharp bend. Witnesses described panic as passengers were thrown from their seats. Local police have cordoned off the area. The cause is under investigation, but initial chatter points to excessive speed or a mechanical failure.
