At least 10 dead in Turkey train crash

AT least ten people have been killed and more than 70 injured when multiple cars of a train derailed in western Turkey, an official said.

The Turkish Ministry of Transport said five of the train’s six cars derailed in a village in Tekirdag province after ‘the ground between the culvert and the rail collapsed’ due to heavy rain.

The train was heading to Istanbul from Edirne, on the border with Greece, with 362 passengers and six crew members, the Transport ministry said.
