Germany train crash

Three people died and another 13 were injured when a German regional train collided with a works engine near the town of Offenbach early on Friday

The train, travelling from Frankfurt to Hanau, was carrying 35 passengers at the time of the accident.
Police said it had run into a maintenance crane on the track.

Yes a terrible accident and so sad to loose people in the event!
I wonder how it was that two trains were head on the same line? No doubt we will find out soon enough.
With sympathy
Phil
