Bern - At least two people died and 25 were injured when two regional Bern trains collided in a local station yesterday. Among the dead was a four-month-old baby girl, police said.

The accident occurred when a train coming from Bern ran into the side of a train from Thun, on the Guerbetal line in the suburbs of the Swiss capital.

A spokesman for the BernLoetschberg-Simplon rail company said it seemed likely the driver of the train from Bern had gone through a red light.

A police spokesman said one of the injured who had been trapped inside a carriage had been freed.
