[FoxNews] One train hit another after passing through a red light, Slovak Railways director confirms

The collision of an express train with a passenger train on Sunday evening sent 79 passengers to the hospital, with 13 people still hospitalized.

The express train hit the back of the passenger train near the town of Pezinok, Slovakia, with 800 passengers in total aboard. None are said to be in life-threatening condition, according to The Associated Press.

Prime Minister Robert Fico reportedly said the crash was due to human error.

Slovak Railways director Ivan Bednárik said the first train passed through a red light, moving into the wrong sector, The Slovak Spectator reported.

"The express had already started braking, otherwise the consequences would have been far worse," Bednárik said, according to reports.
