One dead, several hurt in Luxembourg train crash

A passenger train and a freight train collided in Luxembourg on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring several more, police said. The passenger service from Thionville in northeast France hit the goods train near Bettembourg close to the French border around 0800 GMT, they said. "One person was recovered dead from the train," Luxembourg police said in a statement. "Two injured persons were admitted to the hospital."
A further six people suffered minor injuries, police added. Around 100 rescue workers are at the scene along with psychological support workers, they said. The causes of the accident "are yet to be determined", said the Luxembourg train company CFL, which operated the passenger train.
