DHAKA: At least 10 people have died and dozens injured when two passenger trains ploughed into each other, it has been reported.

The trains crashed head on in southern Italy Tuesday, Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported on its website, says mirror.co.uk.

No immediate reason was given for the crash, which happened on a rail track in the middle of the countryside, north of the city of Bari in the heel of Italy.

Video taken at the scene shows a derailed carriage tilted on its side and emergency workers and a fleet of ambulances.

More than 200 trains use the line every day and work had been taking place to add an extra line to ensure an collision cannot happen.
