WARSAW - Fourteen people were killed and 60 others injured in a train collision in southern Poland on Saturday as rescue work is on the way, local media reported.
Poland's Interior Minister confirmed the new death toll about the train clash, as hundreds of firefighters and policemen were working hard on the scene to help and rescue passengers trapped inside the train.
More fatalities in the accident, which Polish Transport Minister Slawomir Nowak described as the "most serious railway catastrophes" in Poland's recent history, were not ruled out.
