Congo train accident kills 60

At least 60 people were killed when they were swept off the roof of a train into the river below as the train crossed a bridge in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local officials said on Tuesday.
"It seems there are over 60 dead in this accident," Koloso Sumaili, governor of Maniema province, told Reuters in Kinshasa after speaking with local officials in his region.
He said the accident happened on Monday, around 200 km (125 miles) south of the town of Kindu, as the train travelled towards the southern town of Lubumbashi.
"Trains that travel on that line have lots of people and goods on the roof. When the train was crossing over a bridge, the beams supporting the bridge swept people and goods off the train and into the river below," he said.
