Two people were killed and about 60 injured when two metro trains

collided during the morning rush in Rome, officials say.

The crash took place at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II station in

the centre of the Italian capital. The trains were travelling on metro line

A.

The square above has been cordoned off. Police and firemen are

at the scene.

Passengers said the crash happened when one train arriving at

the station crashed into the back of another.

One of the dead is said to be a 30-year-old woman.

The two underground trains were travelling at slow speed when they

crashed, one stop away from the mainline train terminus in Rome, reports say.

" I saw the train in front and it seemed as though it was

getting closer and closer to us and nothing was happening, " Fabbiano De

Santis told Italian television.
