Also a disclaimer: Russia is notorious for getting early details related to these sorts of things incorrect. So don’t be surprised if things like, numbers of passengers or victims changes over time.

This headline says someone was trapped BETWEEN carriages, but then the article states someone was trapped inside a train car.

A woman reportedly died in the ambulance.

And, they also reported that her family will receive 2.2 million rubles.

Does anyone else feel like that is a weird thing to report at the same time?
