UFTON NERVET – Investigators combed the tangled wreckage of an express train in southern England yesterday, a day after it slammed into a car at a level crossing, killing six people and injuring more than 100.

Five survivors out of nearly 70 sent to the hospital late on Saturday were reported to be in serious condition in hospital, with one battling life-threatening injuries.About half of the 300 passengers on the crowded train suffered minor injuries.It was the worst accident on Britain’s privatised railways since May 2002 when seven people were killed, and five critically injured, when a passenger train derailed at Potters Bar, north of London.- Nampa-AFPFive survivors out of nearly 70 sent to the hospital late on Saturday were reported to be in serious condition in hospital, with one battling life-threatening injuries.About half of the 300 passengers on the crowded train suffered minor injuries.It was the worst accident on Britain’s privatised railways since May 2002 when seven people were killed, and five critically injured, when a passenger train derailed at Potters Bar, north of London.- Nampa-AFP
