Minister: Human error not behind French crash

None

France's transport minister says human error did not cause a train derailment outside Paris that left six dead.

 

Frederic Cuvillier said Saturday that around 30 people were still considered injured. In all, nearly 200 people sustained injuries in the initial accident, when four train cars slid toward the station, some falling over. The Friday night crash was France's deadliest in years, but Cuvillier said it could have been worse and praised the driver who sent out an alert quickly, preventing a pile up. (AP)
