At the lightning train accident on August 10, 1967, at. ca. 10.10, the stopped lightning train Sydvestjyden was hit from behind with 70-80 km / h of lightning train Nordjyden, among other things. due to misinterpretation of messages. The accident happened approx. 4 km east of Odense station on the dam east of Nyborgvej.

At the collision, 11 passengers were killed, 17 were seriously injured and 19 more easily injured. Due to the stopped lightning train Southwest Jutland, the previous signal showed "stop" for the lightning train North Jutland.

Nordjydens locomotive driver was given the remote control center in Odense by telephone permission to pass the signal. The personnel of the remote control center failed to use the so-called train timer, which would have revealed that the reason why the signal showed "stop" could be the holding Southwest Jutland.

The driver on the lightning train Nordjyden resumed the run in accordance with the permit. The speed up to the next signal in such circumstances - at that time - should not exceed 30 km / h.

As the driver could see the next signal at a good distance showing two green lights ("run through") he set the speed up. Due to trees and a curve, however, he could not see that before the signal held another train - the Southwest Jutland - and that the signal was for this train.

The collision was so powerful that several carriages were pushed together, and many of the killed and wounded had to be cut free from the carriages. The train accident also meant that the traffic on main road 1 near Odense was stalled several days in a row, when curious pilgrims went to the scene of the accident.

In connection with the collision, DSB and the police carried out the railway safety investigations. Following the court decision in Odense Byret, a commission court, with the Supreme Court Judge Henrik Tamm in the lead, was set up on 17 May 1969 to clarify the circumstances and causes of the railway accident.

The rail accident of Marslev on 10 August 1967 was a rear-end collision with Marslev, Denmark.

starting position
Two express trains, the Sydvestjyden and the Nordjyden, sailed eastwards towards Copenhagen on the Odense line when the leading Sydvestjyden, train no. 38, was left stranded due to a mechanical failure. Both trains were diesel railcars of the MA series in lightweight aluminum construction and consisted of two of these vehicles. The Sydvestjyden was made up of the sets MA 464-AM 501-BR 533-BS 481 + BS 485-BM 523-AM 503-MA 469, the Nordjyden from the sets MA 465-AM 507-BR 530-BS 489 + BS 483-BM 522-AM 504-MA 460. There was fog and the visibility was bad.

the accident
The Sydvestjyden stopped just in front of a signal, so that 114 meters of the train before the signal, 35 meters behind the signal stood. The top of the train was still 20 meters before the contact of the train control, the overrun the signal would have dropped back to "stop". So this showed further "ride free". The previous block, in which the end of the preceding train stood, was backed off by a signal indicating "stop". The locomotive driver of the second train stopped in front of this signal and inquired at the train control center in Odense for the reason. This was based on a signal disturbance and released without the required review by telephone the ride for the second train. Under these circumstances, a maximum speed of 30 km / h was required. After approaching the next signal at this prescribed speed, the driver saw that the following signal showed "drive free". What he did not see due to the terrain formation, the vegetation and the generally poor visibility on that day, was that the train remained lying on this signal. He could not see that this "ride free" was for the train that had remained lying down, not for him. He drew it to himself and accelerated. At 10:10, the second train started at 70 to 80 km / h on the stationary train. The impact was so severe that a significant portion of the car was compressed and the front train was pushed so far forward that he came over the contact and the signal now switched to "stop". Since two motor cars collided immediately, a significant portion of the impact energy was absorbed by their engine blocks. The lightweight aluminum construction of the trains could absorb only to a limited extent the forces acting on the trains during the accident. In the approaching train, the passenger car First Class, AM 507, was completely crushed under the power head MA 465, which then destroyed the following buffet car, BR 530, also half. This front part of the pulling train came from Frederikshavn. In Sydvestjyden the rear running powerhead and three cars were severely damaged. These came from Sønderborg.

consequences
In the accident, 11 people died, 17 were also severe, 19 slightly injured, according to other information 80 people were injured. Due to numerous onlookers who wanted to see the accident site, the traffic on the adjacent trunk road 1 (Hovedvej 1) for several days almost came to a standstill.
