Northern Turkey Train Crash Kills Driver, Injures 7

Two passenger trains have collided in north-west Turkey, killing a train driver and injuring seven other people.

The accident occurred when one train failed to stop at a signal near the town of Bilecik and rammed into the other, stationary, train, the BBC reported.

The provincial governor said an electrical fault caused the accident but the regional rail chief said the signalling system was functioning.

Both trains were travelling between Istanbul and the city of Eskisehir.

The injured reportedly included two other members of the trains' crews, and several passengers who were sitting at the front of the train that was moving.

Bilecik Governor Musa Colak said engineering work was being carried out in the area at the time.
