A train carrying dozens of schoolchildren derailed Friday in the Austrian Alps, and a carriage ended up on its side in a river, authorities said. Seventeen people were slightly injured.
The derailment happened at around 7 a.m. on the Mur Valley railway, a narrow-gauge line in central Austria, the Austria Press Agency reported. One carriage of the three-car train fell into the Mur river, which runs next to the tracks.
The commander of the local rescue services, Anton Schilcher, said 54 schoolchildren were riding the train on the last day before the summer break. Seventeen of them were believed to have sustained slight injuries.
Schilcher said that everyone on the train was rescued quickly.
