26 injured, driver killed as two trains collide in Switzerland

PanARMENIAN.Net - Two trains collided head-on in Switzerland late on Monday, July 29, injuring 26 people and killing the driver of one, police said, according to Reuters.

The driver's body was found overnight in the wreckage of the crash at Granges-près-Marnand in the canton of Vaud, police spokesman Jean-Christophe Sauterel said.

He said it was too early to try to ascertain the cause of the crash.

Police said 46 people were on the two trains, one of which was heading to Lausanne, the other was going to Payerne.

Seventy-nine people were killed in a train crash in Spain last week, one of the worst in decades.
