Two killed in Latvian train crash

Two people are reported to have died, with at least 14 injured, in a train crash in the Latvian capital, Riga.

An empty Moscow to Riga train reversing towards a depot collided with a commuter train on Wednesday, according to the Latvian Delfi news agency.

The front carriage of the first train has been seriously damaged, and its interior is still inaccessible to rescue services.

Three of the injured are said to be in a serious condition.

Latvian agencies report that one of train drivers appears to have gone through red lights.

Twenty ambulances have been rushed to the scene.

Rescuers say there could be more casualties inside the carriage they are having trouble reaching.

Latvian interior and transport ministers are overseeing the rescue operation.

I think maybe there is a problem... I am obviously not Veronica, as all of my posts currently say!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

... but cant find how to do this. I'll write to tech support. Sorry!

It's apparently a problem that came up when the transfer was made from the old forum to the new one. It's happening across all of Bella forums. We were having some funny discussions about it in Jaga's forum, too. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
