VIENNA -- Austrian police Wednesday put the death toll from a
train crash near Vienna Tuesday at six, revising original reports
that seven people had been killed in the country's worst rail crash
for 30 years, according to a wire service report.
Fourteen
people were injured in a head-on collision between a goods train and
a truck transporter, which occurred between the villages of
Weigelsdorf and Wampersdorf, 18 miles south of Vienna.
Doctors at a hospital in Vienna said two of the injured had
life-threatening injuries.
The identities of the dead had not
been officially confirmed but media reports said they comprised
three Hungarians, two Yugoslavs and a Turk.
One of the
trains was transporting lorries and around 20 drivers, the majority
of whom were from Hungary.
Investigators were still trying
to establish the cause of the crash.
