Two fast trains have crashed head on in Slovakia leaving dozens of people injured, two of them in a critical condition.
The trains collided in the small town of Roznava, in the east of the country, shortly after 8am this morning, according to Slovak Railways. Police estimated 80 passengers were on board and an investigation into this crash has been launched.
Interior minister, Matus Sutaj Estok, said two passengers were in critical condition and injuries to the others were not serious. He suggested that human error may be to blame.
