Train crash near Italy's Turin leaves at least two killed, 20 wounded

A regional train plowed into a big-rig truck stopped on the tracks outside the northern Italian city of Turin late Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring some 20 others, authorities said.

The Italian news agency ANSA said the first fatality was the engineer of the train, which smashed into the truck near the town of Caluso at 11:20 p.m. on a run from Turin to the suburb of Ivrea.

Later, one of two critically injured people who were flown by helicopter to a hospital died, ANSA said.

One of the 20 less seriously injured was reported to be a crew member, while the others were passengers.

The truck driver's fate wasn't immediately known.
