Up to 40 people have been injured as two trains crashed while being coupled together in Salzburg, Austria.
ADVERTISEMENTTwo passenger trains crashed while being coupled together in Salzburg early on Friday, leaving about 40 people slightly injured, according to police.
The incident occurred at the Austrian city's main station at about 4.45 am local time, a police spokesman said.
