Prosecutors investigate driver in railroad crash

Prosecutors say they are opening an investigation into the driver of a cargo train that was involved in a head-on crash that left 10 people dead and injured 23 others in eastern Germany on Saturday.

The prosecutors' office in Magdeburg said Monday that it was investigating the 41-year-old driver on suspicion of negligent homicide and bodily injury caused by negligence and endangerment of railroad traffic.

The office said witnesses told investigators the driver may have run through a stop signal and caused the crash.

Police said 10 of the 23 injured have been released from hospital, and a criminal investigation of the accident site in Hordorf has been finished. They said among the injured were two Georgians, one Portuguese and one Brazilian citizen.
