Passenger train derails in Hungary
A Budapest to Pécs train derailed on Saturday, possibly because the tracks had warped in the heat.
Ten of the 100 passengers suffered minor injuries, and two others were taken to Dombóvár hospital with ankle and hand fractures.
Some 300 metres of track and electric overhead cables will have to be replaced, MÁV officials told reporters on Sunday. MÁV said the cost of restoring the damaged track could be around Ft 100 million.
