At Least 10 Dead, Dozens Injured in Train Crash in Italy

Milan: Two Italian commuter trains collided on Tuesday in the southern region of Puglia, killing a dozen people, firefighters said.

Dozens of others were injured when the two trains, each with four cars, collided head-on near the town of Andria on a line with just a single track, according to news agency ANSA and Sky TG24.

A still photo of the crash showed cars crumpled together and forced off the tracks at sharp angles.

"Some of the cars are completely crumpled and the rescuers are extracting people from the metal, many of them injured," Riccardo Zingaro, the chief of the local police in Andria, told ANSA at the scene.

National police and Carabinieri couldn't immediately give details about the extent of the crash, saying they were in the middle of responding.
