A passenger train collided head-on with a freight train in the Czech Republic, killing at least four people and injuring 27 others, officials said Thursday.
Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan said the crash took place late Wednesday night in the city of Pardubice, about 100 km east of Prague.
Rakušan said none of the injured was in life-threatening condition.
Rescuers said 380 passengers were on board the train heading for the city of Kosice in eastern Slovakia and further to Chop.
The drivers of both trains survived, the local CTK news agency said.
Police said later they were investigating possible negligence.
