THIRTEEN PASSENGERS WERE INJURED AFTER TRAIN CARRIAGES WERE DERAILED NEAR LIMOGES BECAUSE OF A HAY TRAILER ON THE TRACK THREE train carriages were derailed and 13 passengers were injured
after a farm trailer of hay fell onto the tracks near Limoges. Out of 450 passengers travelling from Paris to Cahors, most were unharmed, but a 42-year-old man is still in intensive care,
after needing emergency surgery for multiple injuries. A 48-year-old woman whose life was also in danger has now been stabilised. The accident has been attributed to a trailer that was being
loaded with hay nearby and fell on to the tracks. The train is said to have hit it at a 68mph. More than 100 railway workers spent the night repairing the damage to the tracks and the owner
of the trailer has since been arrested. Photo (a Corail train):Vincent de Morteau
