WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two Washington, D.C.-subway trains collided during rush hour on Monday and reporters on the scene said they saw what appeared to be at least one body and a number of injured people receiving treatment.
"Metro reports that two trains collided and one train is on top of the other train. Metro reports massive injuries at this time," the Washington, D.C., emergency alert system said in an e-mail message.
Fox television's local news affiliate showed passengers being escorted from a Metro train outside the Fort Totten station. The station said power to the station was shut off.
A reporter with the station said he saw what appeared to be a body covered with a sheet, and several injured passengers including one wearing a neck brace.
