BERLIN (AP) — Two freight trains collided on a railway bridge in Germany overnight, officials said Saturday, the crash sending two wagons plunging off the bridge and onto the street below. One person was killed.
The German news agency dpa did not identify the victim in the crash, which occurred in the city of Munich. The cause of the collision was not immediately known.
The wagons fell about 5 meters (16 feet) from the bridge, dpa said. Munich police said the street beneath the bridge has been closed and urged drivers to avoid the area while recovery and clearing operations were underway.
