   LONDON --

   Two passenger trains collided in Wales, killing a man and injuring 15
   people, transport police said Tuesday.

   The low-speed crash on Monday evening happened near the village of
   Llanbrynmair in central Wales.

   "We can sadly confirm a man has died following this evening's
   incident," said British Transport Police superintendent Andrew Morgan.

   Those taken to hospital were not believed to have suffered serious
   injuries.

   Morgan said transport police were working "to understand the
   circumstances leading up to this collision."
