Italy train crash: Two dead in high-speed derailment
Two people have been killed after a high-speed train derailed near the northern Italian city of Lodi, emergency services say.
Both of the dead are thought to be drivers. At least one person, a cleaner on the train, had significant but not life-threatening injuries.
The train was travelling from Milan to the southern city of Salerno.
All services on the Milan-Bologna high-speed route have been suspended and diverted via conventional lines.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Rome says that while there have been occasional crashes on Italy's regional trains, this is the first such incident on its high-speed Frecciarossa - or Red Arrow - network, the country's transport pride.
The trains run at 300 km/h (186 mph) and are generally efficient, punctual and safe.
