BBC Europe – Four killed in derailment near Milan. A packed commuter train has derailed near the northern Italian city of Milan, leaving at least four people dead and around 10 seriously injured. Several people were rescued from the wreckage of the carriages that derailed at the Pioltello Limito station in the morning rush hour. A problem with a track switch is being investigated as a possible cause, police say. Witnesses said the train trembled for a few minutes before the accident.
