Six dead, scores hurt in British train crash

UFTON NERVET, England, Sunday (Reuters)

A British high-speed passenger train crashed into a car at a level crossing and flew off the rails on Saturday, killing six people and injuring scores.

"The 1735 train for Plymouth with 300 passengers on board collided with a vehicle at the crossing, completely derailing the train," said Andy Trotter, deputy chief constable of British Transport Police.

Among the scores of injured, 11 were seriously hurt. The train's operator First Great Western, a subsidiary of rail and bus operator FirstGroup Plc, said the train driver was one of those killed.
