Danish train moving at 'relatively high speed' when hit farm truck: police
Danish police said Saturday that an express train that hit a farm truck killing one person and injuring 27 was travelling at a "relatively high speed" when the collision happened. The drivers of the train and the truck are both among the critically injured from Friday's accident on a railway crossing at Bjerndrup in southwest Denmark. A 60-year-old woman was killed and five of the 27 injured were in critical condition, police said. The train was travelling from Copenhagen to the western town of Sonderborg. The truck carrying agricultural waste was crossing the railway at a point where there was no barrier, according to police. The train was travelling at "a relatively high speed" at the time of the accident, police told a press conference. The investigation would determine whether the light and sound signals at the crossing had worked at the time of the collision, authorities said. TV2 television said that in July a 24-year-old driver was killed at a similar crossing three kilometres (two miles) away when his car was hit by a train. cbw/tw/rmb

Danish train was traveling at ‘relatively high speed' when it hit farm truck: Police
Danish police said Saturday that an express train that struck a farm truck, killing one person and injuring 27, was traveling at a 'relatively high speed' when the collision occurred. The drivers of both the train and the truck were among those critically injured in Friday's crash at a railway crossing in Bjerndrup, southwest Denmark. Police said a 60-year-old woman was killed, while five of the 27 injured remain in critical condition. The train, which was traveling from Copenhagen to the western town of Sønderborg, hit the truck as it crossed the tracks at a site without a barrier. Authorities said the investigation will determine whether the light and sound signals at the crossing were functioning at the time. Local media reported that a similar accident occurred in July just three kilometers (two miles) away, when a 24-year-old driver was killed after his car was struck by a train at another crossing.
