Worst Czech Train Crash in Seven Years Kills Two, Injures 13

Czech authorities said two people died and 13 were injured after a fast-moving train collided with a truck in the country’s worst train accident in almost seven years.

The train was moving faster than 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour when it ran into a truck that was crossing the tracks despite functioning traffic warning lights, Martin Drapal, a rail safety authority spokesman, told public television on Wednesday. Debris from the scene were found as far as 200 meters from the place of impact, he said.
