9 dead, 4 injured in Hebei train accident
Nine people were dead and four others injured after they were hit by a train this morning in north China's Hebei Province, local authorities said.
The accident occurred at 5:28 am when a freight train knocked down a group of villagers who were walking on a railway bridge in Funing County in Qinhuangdao city, the city's publicity department said in a press release.
Because a nearby road was damaged by torrential rains, the villagers climbed over the railway guardrail and walked along a section of the Datong-Qinhuangdao railway, the country's main coal-transporting railway, the release said.
The four injured has been sent to a local hospital for medical treatment.
A further investigation into the cause of the accident is under way.
