The death toll in a
collision between a high-speed train and a truck in eastern Czech Republic has
reached three after a passenger died in a hospital over the night.
Tomas
Oborny, spokesman for the University hospital in the city of Ostrava, confirmed
the death Wednesday. He said three other people remain in serious condition.
The
train hit the truck at a rail crossing in the eastern town of Studenka on
Tuesday as it was traveling from Bohumin to the western spa of Frantiskovy
Lazne.
The truck driver was
unharmed. He was detained by police as investigators believe he entered the
crossing despite the warning from flashing red lights.
