(ANSA) - Cagliari, January 19 - Several people were injured
on Tuesday when two metro trains collided in the Sardinian
regional capital.
The exact number of injured remains unclear, with regional
health authorities saying 57 people were taken to hospital while
first responders say they attended to just over 40 people.
The drivers of the two trains and two passengers are among
the most seriously wounded but none of their injuries are
life-threatening, reports said.
The collision occurred around 08:00 local time.
Most of the injured were students on their way to school.
Local transport company ARST said it was not yet clear why
the two trains found themselves going in opposite directions on
the same track, but that "human error" was "certainly" to blame.
