Prague, Aug 4 (TIWN) A high-speed Western Express Service train which connects the cities of Prague and Munich crashed near the Czech Republic-German border killing at least three people and injuring dozens.

According to the Czech transport minister, the express train from Munich heading to Prague went through a stop signal and hit a commuter train bound for the town of Domazlice.  Authorities, however, said it was unclear if this was due to a driver error or a technical glitch. Both drivers were killed, as well as one woman passenger, the BBC reported.
