Belgian train head-on collision

Eighteen people have been killed in a head-on collision between two passenger trains in Belgium, although the death toll could rise.

Railway officials said the trains collided during the morning rush hour at Halle, south-west of Brussels. One reportedly missed a stop signal.
“The devastation is enormous,” said an official, as bloodied passengers were helped from the wrecked carriages.Rail services to south-western Belgium, Paris and London were canceled.
There were varying reports about the death toll, but eight hours after the crash the crisis centre set up to deal with the accident said 15 men and three women had been killed.
