A long-distance passenger train from Poland smashed into a collapsed bridge in eastern Czech Republic on Friday, killing at least six people and seriously injuring 13 others, officials said.

The crash occurred at about 10:30 a.m. near the eastern town of Studenka when parts of a bridge under reconstruction tumbled onto the track as the train was approaching, Czech Railways spokesman Radek Joklik said.

The driver of the Prague-bound train _ which was traveling at 85 mph _ slammed on the emergency brakes but was unable to avoid crashing into the debris, said Jan Kucera, Czech Railways’ inspection deputy chief.

The engine and first six carriages derailed, he said.

Five women and one man were killed. Thirteen others were seriously injured and dozens more suffered minor injuries, said Lukas Humpl, spokesman for the local rescue service. Rescue crews were scrambling to help victims at the scene.

The driver of the train survived, rail officials said.

The InterCity train was traveling from the Polish city of Krakow, Joklik said. Some 400 people were on board, CT24 television said.

Studenka is about 210 miles east of Prague.

In Poland, PKP railway spokeswoman Adrianna Chibowska said 54 people bought tickets in Poland for the journey.
