28 killed as train hits bus in Cuba

At least 28 people died after a train smashed into a bus on a level crossing in Cuba.

Another 73 were injured, including 15 who are critically ill.

The cause of the crash about 500 miles east of Havana is still investigated.

Reports said the train was travelling from the eastern city of Santiago to the coastal city of Manzanillo on Saturday when it hit the bus. The train dragged the bus on to a bridge, from where it plunged into a ravine.

Railway crossings in rural areas are often poorly sited, marked only with a small sign and do not have automated gates and signals.
