A railway accident in Croatia has reportedly left at least three people dead and 11 more with injuries when a passenger train collided with a freight train yesterday evening (Friday, Sept 9).
The accident is said to have occurred about 9.30pm — 8.30pm in Britain — near the town of Novska, about four miles north of the border with Bosnia. Croatia's prime minister, Andrej Plenkovic, who attended the scene with government officials shortly after the accident told reporters: “The impact was huge.”
Mr Plenkovic added that so far the bodies of three people had been recovered at the site of the accident, but feared there would be more victims found once daylight broke in the area.
