Washington, April 27: At least 10 people were injured in a crash between a rural transit bus and a freight train in Pennsylvania state in the US, a media report said.



WTAE-TV, which serves the Pittsburgh area, said the bus was carrying passengers to a programme for people with developmental disabilities when the train honked at it.

The bus was stopped on the tracks at a non-gated crossing over a rural road, but did not move, Xinhua said.

Police are investigating why the 60-year-old bus driver was stopped on the tracks, as well as the possibility that the thick morning fog was a factor.

All passengers were adults, aged from 26 to 90. Two medical helicopters were called to fly patients to Pittsburgh hospitals.
