 A passenger train carrying hundreds of people collided at high speed with an oncoming freight train in a fiery wreck in northern Greece, killing at least 40 and injuring 72, the Euro News website reports today (March 1, 2023). 


Multiple cars derailed and at least three burst into flames after the collision near the town of Tempe on Feb. 28 just before midnight. 


Rescue crews illuminated the scene with floodlights before dawn as they searched through the twisted, smoking wreckage for survivors.
