A train crash in the Czech Republic has killed seven people and injured at least 67 others.
The EuroCity express from Krakow in Poland crashed into a Czech road bridge which had just collapsed during construction. The locomotive and at least six carriages derailed, leaving victims in a mass of twisted metal. Officials said the train, which was en route to Prague, struck at 120 kilometers an hour shortly after its driver had applied emergency brakes. On board were 400 people, including Czech, Polish and Slovakian rock music fans. Rescuers Czech PM signs agreement on Czech accession to ESA ...
