Italy Train Crash

The wreckage of a truck lies on the tracks in Cisternino, southern Italy, Monday, Sept. 24, 2012. Italian state railway officials say a high-speed train slammed into the truck at a railroad crossing, killing the train's engineer and injuring four passengers. A railway spokesman, Marco Mancini, says the truck got stuck on the tracks and that the driver then abandoned the vehicle, making it to safety just before the Frecciargento (Silverarrow) train from Rome ran into it.
