At least 35 people were killed and 210 injured after a high-speed train in east China ploughed into the back of another bullet train that had lost power, a news report said Sunday. One train lost power and stalled after being struck by lightning late Saturday, and the other train, running behind it, subsequently crashed into it, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing statements from the Ministry of Railways and the provincial emergency office. The collision forced two carriages of the crippled train off the track, and four from the other train to derail and fall off a concrete bridge, plunging 20 meters to 30 metres to the ground. About 600 passengers were aboard the six carriages that derailed. A total of 1,400 passengers were on board the two trains. The accident occurred in Wenzhou City in the south-eastern province of Zhejiang at around 8.30 pm (1230 GMT).
