One dead in Rome metro train crash
A young woman died and scores of people were injured, five seriously, when a Rome metro train smashed into the back of another one that was standing in a station early on Tuesday, police and rescue workers said.
The crash, believed to be the first fatal accident ever to hit the Italian capital's metro system, occurred during the morning rush hour.
Some 15 ambulances rushed to the scene of the crash, taking the most seriously injured to hospital. Among them was a French tourist who was bleeding badly from a head wound.
