Police arrest two in connection with Eurocity train crash

The police have arrested two men in connection with the Eurocity train crash which occurred in North Moravia last Friday. Seven people died and more than 70 were injured in one of the worst train crashes in recent Czech history. The accident occurred near the town of Studénka, in northern Moravia, after an overhead bridge, which was being repaired, collapsed onto the railway track just as the Eurocity train from Krakow to Prague was approaching. The CTK news agency reported that both men were employees of one of the building companies working on the bridge.
