French Alps: Train Derailed by Rock
Two people were killed when a falling boulder derailed a tourist train in the southern French Alps, local officials and firefighters say.
At least nine people were injured.
The train was travelling from Nice to the town of Digne-les-Bains on a line which crosses gorges and viaducts at up to 1,000m (3,200ft) above sea level.
"A rock the size of a car came off the mountainside and slammed into the first car of the train,” according to a local report.
