US soldiers in Czech train crash

A collision between two trains in western Bohemia, in the Czech Republic, has killed a Czech driver and injured 10 United States soldiers.

Three of the soldiers are reported to have been seriously hurt.

It is unclear what caused the accident, which involved a military convoy and a freight train.

The crash is the second to hit US personnel this week, after a soldier driving a fuel truck died in an accident on Tuesday.

The troops are taking part in army exercises in the Czech Republic.
