One dead, 32 hurt, in rush-hour train crash

At least one person was killed and 32 injured when two crowded passenger trains collided during the rush hour in a Zurich suburb, overturning one carriage on to a 16,000-volt power line and derailing two more.

Dr Meinrad Lienert of city rescue services said a woman died and eight people, including a child, were seriously injured in last night’s accident. The remaining injuries were moderate to light, Lienert said.
