Several people killed in Danish train accident: police

COPENHAGEN, Jan 2, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Several people were killed Wednesday
in a train accident on a bridge connecting two islands in Denmark, police
said.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known, but early media
reports suggested a passenger train crashed into a cargo train on the Great
Belt Bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen, as high winds
lashed the region.
