Bridge collapses after US rail crash

Two goods trains collide in the US state of Missouri, bringing down a road bridge and leaving seven people injured.

Two cars were on the bridge when it collapsed. Five passengers inside the cars were hurt and taken to hospital

Glad no one was killed, and wishing the injured a speedy recovery. Its still mind boggling though, with all our modern technology, that these sort of accidents occur
