Russian train slams into bus, killing at least one and injuring 11
The accident in northwestern Russia occurred at 0300 GMT, Russia's rail network said. The bus was on the tracks when the train hit it at full speed.
The train driver applied emergency braking 'but the distance was too short and he could not avoid a collision,' the railway statement said.
'According to preliminary information, 12 passengers on the bus were injured and one of them died of injuries,' it said.
Traffic violations are fairly common in Russia, resulting in several deadly accidents.
