260 injured in China metro train crash

Over 260 passengers were injured, many seriously, after two high-speed metro trains on Tuesday collided in Shanghai due to signal failure, which was also blamed for the deadly bullet train crash in China two months ago that claimed 40 lives. The accident occurred when a metro train smashed into the rear of another one after the signal system went haywire, sending the busy suburban network in China's largest metropolis and commercial hub into a spin, state-run CCTV reported. Four foreigners, including two Japanese, one each from Canada and the Philippines also suffered minor injuries.
