At least 60 people are dead after a train accident in the southern part of Republic of Congo, a train official said Tuesday. Four train cars full of passengers fell into a ravine in the Central African nation late Monday, said Jean Miche Ibinda, spokesman for the rail company of the train that derailed. State radio reported that more than 300 others were hurt. Ibinda said the train was leaving the coastal town of Pointe-Noire and headed to the capital, Brazzaville, when it derailed. Army and Red Cross officials rushed to the scene of the accident to help victims of the train known as "Ocean", he said. "We have a provisional toll but it is likely to get higher because of the high number of gravely wounded which ambulances are busy ferrying to hospitals in Pointe-Noire," Ibinda said.
