German train crash near Magdeburg leaves 10 dead

Story and video here

Quote:

At least 10 people are reported to have died in a train crash in eastern Germany.

A local passenger train and a goods train collided head-on in the state of Saxony-Anhalt late on Saturday, near the city of Magdeburg.

The passenger train, the HarzElbeExpress, was travelling on a single track section between Magdeburg and Halberstadt.

The cause of the crash, which left 33 injured, is unclear.

RIP:(

Very sad news, especially as I've just returned from three weeks traveling in Germany experiencing the efficiencies of DB.

That has been a nasty prang, if they heard it nearly five miles away!:eek:

Hope the toll doesn't rise any further, we'll have to wait for the results of the investigation as to the cause, but head-to-head on a single line means something has gone very wrong......
