Train derailment that killed 3 in Germany apparently was caused by landslide

Investigators believe a landslide, brought on by heavy rainfall, likely caused a regional train to derail in southern Germany, killing three people and injuring 41 more. More than 100 people were aboard the Deutsche Bahn train Sunday when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area near Riedlingen, west of Munich. The train’s driver, another employee and a passenger were killed. Some of the 41 injured were seriously hurt. Police say the downpours in the area caused a sewage shaft to overflow, likely triggering the landslide of an embankment where the derailment occurred.
