flag Three European bison were killed in a train collision in Poland’s Bialowieza Forest on March 20, 2026.

flag Three rare European bison were killed Sunday morning in Poland’s Bialowieza Forest, a UNESCO-listed primeval woodland, after crossing train tracks near Witowo. flag The collision occurred at 7 a.m. when a herd was struck by the “Zubr” line train traveling between Bialystok and Warsaw, with no passenger injuries and the train resuming service about an hour and a half later. flag The incident, involving three animals at once, is considered highly unusual despite occasional bison-train collisions. flag The European bison, once near extinction due to hunting and habitat loss, was revived through reintroduction efforts and now numbers about 1,200 in Poland’s portion of the forest, a vital biodiversity and carbon sink.
