BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Slovak authorities confirmed on Monday that thirteen individuals injured in a train collision near Pezinok, north of Bratislava, remain hospitalized. The incident occurred on Sunday evening when an express train collided with the rear of a passenger train. Out of approximately 800 passengers, 79 were transported to hospitals, primarily with minor injuries. Health Minister Kamil Sasko assured that none of the hospitalized individuals are in life-threatening condition. Prime Minister Robert Fico attributed the collision to human error and declined to accept the resignation of Transport Minister Jozef Raz. This marks the second such incident within a month, following a collision on October 13 in eastern Slovakia that left dozens injured, including two in critical condition.
