Slovakia: Four people killed after train and bus collide

Four people have been killed after a train and a bus collided in Slovakia.

Five others were injured in the southern town of Nove Zamky.

The train’s engine was on fire, video footage showed.

The bus was badly damaged in the crash, railway officials said.

It was traveling from the Czech capital, Prague, to the Hungarian capital of Budapest.

More than 100 people were on board the Eurocity service when the accident happened shortly after 5pm local time (4pm BST), railway company ZSSK said.

Dozens of stranded passengers are being taken by bus to the town of Sturovo on the Hungarian border, ZSSK said.

Slovakia’s rescue service confirmed the deaths and injuries.

Interior minister Matus Sutai Estok is heading to the crash site, police said.

The main track linking the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, with Budapest has been closed.
