Train hits car at crossing in Germany, 3 killed

BERLIN (AP) — Police say a train has hit a car at a crossing in northern Germany, killing all three people in the car. The regional train hit the car at full speed near Neustadt am Ruebenberge, outside the city of Hannover on Sunday morning. The car’s 22-year-old driver was killed, along with two women who were with him in the vehicle, aged 21 and 22. There were 38 passengers and four railway employees on board the train, and one person was slightly injured. The car apparently drove onto a crossing although the barriers, which didn’t cover the whole width of the road, were closed.
