Twenty-five lightly injured in Prague train collision

At least twenty people were lightly injured when two passenger trains collided on Wednesday morning in Prague’s district of Libeň, on the line between the Vysočany and the main railway stations. A spokesperson for the Railway Administration said one of the passenger trains crashed into a stationary train.

The police later confirmed that the driver of one of the trains was under the influence of alcohol. However, the collission was probably caused by the other driver, who was in training and who disregarded a stop signal. Traffic on the line has been suspended. The incident is being investigated as public negligence.
