LANDSLIDE DERAILS TRAIN IN ITALY LEAVING NINE DEAD
Baku, 13 April (AZERTAC). A landslide has derailed a train in north-eastern Italy, killing at least nine people and injuring about 30, Italian media say.
Monday`s accident occurred in a valley near the winter sports town of Merano, close to the Austrian border.
Trees prevented the train plunging into a river, and firefighters are said to have used cables to secure the wagons. Officials say the landslide may have been caused by a leaking water pipe further up the hillside.
The authorities say the mass of water, mud and rock came without warning, burying the regional train as it passed through the alpine valley.
