Mexico City Subway Trains Collide, Killing 1

Associated Press

   MEXICO CITY - A two-train subway collision in Mexico City killed a male
   passenger, injured 41 people and disrupted service Wednesday on the
   bustling metro system serving this megalopolis of over 20 million
   people.

   Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said via Twitter that one of the trains
   apparently reversed into the other by accident the previous night,
   shortly before midnight.

   Twenty-five of the injured were treated at the scene, and the other 16
   were taken to hospitals, Sheinbaum said. All the injuries were "light
   to medium" and not life-threatening. Hours later, Sheimbaum's chief of
   staff, Rosa Icela Rodriguez, said that only four of the 16 remained in
   hospitals.

   She said the cause of the crash was under investigation.
