Fifteen dead in Poland after two trains collide

Fifteen people were killed when two passenger trains collided head-on in southern Poland late on Saturday March 3, in the country's worst train crash in more than 20 years.

The two trains carrying an estimated 350 passengers were travelling at high speed on the same track when they crashed in a rural area near the town of Szczechociny. At least 56 people were injured, police said.
