Train hits car near Moscow

Two people were injured when a train collided with a car near Moscow, the Russian emergencies ministry said.

The commuter train bound from Moscow to Shakhovskaya town collided with the car at a “passive railroad crossing” in Volokolamsk district of Moscow region, the ministry said.

It was not immediately clear whether those injured were inside the car.

The injured were taken to a hospital and rail traffic was not disrupted.

Earlier this month, two people — the driver and a passenger in a car — were killed when a train collided with a car in Stupino district in the Moscow region.
