Six Killed in Austrian Rail Crash

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.
