Scores injured in China metro crash
Two metro trains collided in Shanghai yesterday, injuring more than 240 people, the system operator said, just months after a deadly high-speed rail crash that shocked China.
The firm blamed the accident on a signal failure -- the same cause as a July train crash that killed at least 40 people and shook public confidence in China's vast rail network.
Local authorities were investigating the exact cause of the crash, in which one metro train rear-ended another, the official Xinhua news agency said.
