Train Collision Kills at Least 29, Injures More Than 80 (VIDEO)
A passenger train collided with a freight train in Greece just before midnight on Feb. 28, killing 29 and injuring at least 85 people, authorities say.
A train carrying 350 passengers was traveling north from Athens to Thessaloniki when it ran headlong into a freight train traveling from Thessaloniki near the city of Larissa, CNN reported. The force of the collision caused multiple cars to derail with at least two cars “almost completely destroyed” by fire, Gov. Costas Agorastos stated, according to Reuters.
