Strong Storm Derails Train, Damages Buildings in Slovenia

A strong storm in Slovenia caused a train to derail, flooded roads, damaged buildings and slightly injured two people who were riding in a bus that was hit by a dislodged rock, local authorities said today.

Heavy rains and strong winds in the central part of the mountainous country caused rocks to fall on railway tracks and hit the bus.

A train that was traveling from Zidani Most to the capital, Ljubljana, slowed down because of the storm but derailed when it hit the rocks on the tracks.
