A train carrying 350 passengers became stranded near the railway crossing in Kumtich (Tienen) after a person was hit by a vehicle at 6:45 AM. This caused disruptions to train traffic between Tienen and Leuven in both directions, as well as towards Landen. Authorities are working with the police to safely evacuate the stranded passengers, and buses are being sent to the area. Alternative bus services are available for travelers using their train tickets. Delays and cancellations are also possible between Brussels-North and Hasselt.
