Dozens die in Congo train crash  

Last Updated: Tuesday, 29 November 2005, 15:22 GMT

Dozens have been killed in a rail accident in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a train went over a bridge.
The people were travelling on top of carriages and were swept off by support beams on the bridge.

Officials say about 60 people may have died on the train that was travelling from Lubumbashi in the southeast to Kindu in central Maniema province.

An eyewitness says that most of the passengers were knocked into a river with a strong current.

The BBC's Arnaud Zajtman in the capital, Kinshasa, says it is common for people to travel on train roofs to avoid buying a ticket.

The accident took place on Monday at 9am, but news has just reached Kinshasa.

Eight of the passengers fell onto the track and were taken to a nearby hospital, and two of those died, he said.
