A rail crash occurred here in the morning of October 7, 1968: due to a signalman's error, a fast passenger train collided head-on with a local train; 22 people were killed, and 72 seriously injured. This was Romania's second railway accident in number of victims after the Ciurea rail disaster of 1917.[2]
