To quote the news page:
'Five passengers inside the cars were hurt and taken to hospital.'

'Several carriages derailed and as one of the trains hit the bridge'

The News says it two goods trains, but goods trains dont have carriages (granted they are called 'cars in US), neither do they carry passengers... :silly:

I read the report as the 'passengers' were in (road) cars on the bridge deck brought down by the collision, and two people (not passengers, presumably train crew) hurt on one of the trains.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.
