Six carriages plunged off a bridge. As well as those killed, at least 89 people were injured. The crash happened between Taizhou and Wenzhou at 8.34pm. Citing Shanghai railway bureau sources, China National Radio said a train travelling from the provincial capital Hangzhou to Fuzhou ran into the other train, which had been brought to a halt by a lightning strike. Two coaches of the train from Hangzhou and four coaches of the stalled train were derailed. Photos posted by internet users on theShanghai Times Sino microblog showed some of the derailed coaches resting upside down and badly damaged.
