Train crash kills four in Japan

An express train running behind schedule in blustery winter weather derailed in northern Japan, killing four people and injuring 32, police said on Monday, and it was unclear if others remained trapped in the wreckage.
The train left the tracks and crashed into a farm building after apparently encountering high winds near a bridge over a river in Yamagata prefecture late on Sunday.
"It felt as though I was lifted from my seat, and then everything went black," one survivor told state broadcaster NHK. "The wind was terrible. There was rain at the windows and flashes of lightning," he added.
The six-carriage train was carrying 44 passengers and two crew members, Kyodo news agency said.
Police said it was not clear whether anyone remained trapped under the overturned carriages.
