Two dead in Swedish train crash
Two carriages were derailed in the crash at the crossing
A train crash in southern Sweden has killed at least two people and injured about 30 others.
The accident happened when a passenger train collided with a lorry on a railway crossing near the southeastern coastal town of Kristianstad.
Two carriages were derailed and the lorry was demolished.
Rescuers have been trying to free people trapped in the wreckage. It is said to be the worst such accident in Sweden for about 20 years. <b

Swedish radio quotes witnesses as saying that the lorry appeared to make a late run for the crossing as the barrier descended.
"This is definitely the biggest train accident in Sweden for at l
east two decades," said Per Olof Apel, spokesman at Banverket, which r
uns the railway infrastructure.
