A collision between two subway trains during rush hour in Beijing has resulted in 102 people sustaining broken bones, with over 500 individuals sent to the hospital. The incident occurred during heavy snowfall on the Changping subway line, leading to slippery tracks and "signal degradation." The first train braked suddenly, and the second train, unable to stop on the icy tracks, collided with the first one. The impact caused the last two carriages of one train to detach. Images and videos show commuters in dark carriages using emergency hammers to break windows for fresh air.
