Lianokladi

One woman died and two people were injured near Tithorea in central Greece on Thursday morning, when the car she was driving collided with a speeding train.

Rail company TRAINOSE said train 1511 was heading from Lianokladi to Athens when it collided with a vehicle that ignored the bars on the level crossing.

Two women were lightly injured when a passenger train derailed in central Greece early Friday morning, the state-run Athens-Macedonian news agency reported.

The train, which was travelling locally from the town of Lianokladi to Stylida, smashed into the wall of a local railway building as it entered the station in Larissa.
