5 Workers Killed in Train Accident in Italy An empty passenger train hit railway workers at high speed close to a station in Italy, killing five people. Authorities revealed that the workers, aged between 22 and 52, were replacing part of a track outside the northern city of Turin when they were killed. They had been working on the line between Turin and Milan when the train went through Brandizzo station at a reported 160km/h (100mph). Mayor Paolo Bodoni stated that an investigation was under way. Meanwhile, two workers survived unscathed but were taken to hospital for observation. The reports said the train driver was treated at the scene for shock but later sent home. He is expected to be questioned later about the deadly incident. On its part, the Italian railway network (RFI) expressed its "deep sorrow" for the incident. It also sent its "deep condolences" to the families of those who died. Bodoni described the incident as "chilling" and a "huge tragedy". The mayor of Brandizzo, a small town to the north-east of Turin, said he would wait until the outcome of the inquiry but a communication error could not be ruled out.
