Dozens die in Cuban train crash*
At least 28 people have been killed and dozens more injured in Cuba
after a train crashed into a bus at a level crossing, official media says.
The accident - which is the worst in Cuba for years - happened in Granma
province in the east of the island.
Reports say more than 70 people are injured, 15 critically, and local
people have been helping treat them.
Buses and trains are almost always overcrowded in Cuba, where much of
the infrastructure is run down.
The accident happened when a train travelling from Santiago to
Manzanillo slammed into a bus at a crossing in Yara, about 800km (500
miles) south-east of Havana.
An investigation is under way to determine the cause of the crash.
Last June 11 people were killed and 50 injured when a crowded truck
flipped over in the Santiago area.
