Three injured when train hits car

Three people were injured when the car they were driving in was hit by a train at a level crossing near Hradec Králové in east Bohemia on Saturday. One of the three is in a serious condition, a spokesman for Czech Railways told reporters. The level crossing did not have gates, but a system of traffic lights was working at the time of the collision, he said. Such accidents are not uncommon in the Czech Republic. Last month five people died in 15 collisions at level crossings around the country.
