(35 minutes later) | |
At least three people have died after a freight train hit a passenger train west of the Russian capital Moscow, Russian media say. | |
Several carriages were derailed in the crash, said to have occurred at 12:38 (08:38 GMT) near Bekasovo 1 station, 60km (37 miles) west of the capital. | |
Injured people were reportedly carried from the train as emergency services rushed to the scene. | |
The passenger train was on its way from Moscow to Chisinau in Moldova. | |
The three deaths were reported by both Ria-Novosti and Itar-Tass news agencies, without citing an official source. | |
According to Itar-Tass, several carriages on the freight train came off the rails, hitting the passenger train, on which up to three carriages were derailed as a result. | |
Traffic on the line - which also serves Kiev in Ukraine - was suspended as a result. | |
