WARSAW, December 15
Fourteen were killed and eighty injured, mostly children, when a train, leaving Posen station, crashed into a stationary train awaiting the starting signal on the same line. Two stationary coaches filled with children were hurled down an embankment, while another was suspended in.mid-air.
The accident is believed to be due to the signalman’s omission to warn the moving train of the presence of the first, which the driver was unable to see owing to fog.
