Nine people were killed when a passenger train rammed into a truck carrying farm workers in southern Turkey today.
It was the nation's fourth major rail accident in less than two years. At least 30 were injured.
Many of the injured were in critical condition, according to the Anatolianews agency.
The accident occurred near the town of Tarsus near the Mediterranean port city of Mersin, Anatolia reported. All of the casualties apparently were from the truck.
The train hit the truck's side as it apparently was attempting to cross the tracks, footage from private CNN-Turktelevision showed. The train split the truck in two, leaving a huge chunk of squeezed and twisted metal behind.
