2023 Beijing Subway collision

On 14 December 2023, two trains on the Changping Line of the Beijing Subway in Beijing, China collided in heavy snow, resulting in at least 515 injuries, but no fatalities. The tracks had become slippery, which caused the first train to automatically apply its brakes. A second train following behind was unable to stop in time, and crashed into the first.
