Subway cars collide in Rome - large numbers injured
 

so says the BBC...blaming it on a electronics explosion but not much more information at the moment

That sucks. How did that happened? :(

just a basic story up now:



One dead in Rome metro collision

One person has been killed and about 60 injured when two metro trains collided during the morning rush in Rome, according to reports.

The collision took place at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II station in the centre of the Italian capital. The square above has been cordoned off.

The two trains involved were on metro line A. Police and firemen have arrived at the scene.

The cause is still not certain, a BBC correspondent in Rome says.

Initial reports say the two underground trains were travelling at slow speed when they crashed, one stop away from the mainline train terminus in Rome.

Italian television showed images of victims being carried out on stretchers while other passengers emerged looking dazed.

Early reports said passengers were still stuck in some of the cars.

Passengers said the accident occurred when one train arriving at the station crashed into the back of another.
