A passenger train carrying hundreds of people, including many university students returning home from holiday, collided at high speed with an oncoming freight train in a fiery wreck in northern Greece, killing at least 36 people.
Thomson Reuters10 hours agoOfficials described 'a terrible night' after a passenger train carrying 350 people crashed into a freight train early Wednesday in northern Greece, leaving many dead and injured.
Rescue crews illuminated the scene with floodlights before dawn on Wednesday as they searched frantically through the twisted, smoking wreckage for survivors. After sunrise, they turned to heavy machinery that had been brought in to start moving large pieces of the trains. On Wednesday, the government declared three days of national mourning. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was to visit the scene later in the day.
Greece's firefighting service said some 66 people were hospitalized, including six in intensive care. The possible cause of the collision was not immediately clear. Two rail officials were being questioned by police but had not been detained.More than 200 people who were unharmed in the crash or suffered minor injuries were transported by bus to Thessaloniki, 130 kilometres to the north. Police took their names as they arrived, in an effort to track anyone who may be missing.
