Rescue workers pried apart the remains of two trains that collided in northern Italy, finding four more bodies, raising the death toll to 17.
The force of the crash, which occurred Friday in heavy fog on the Bologna-Verona line, left one carriage standing on end nearly perpendicular to the tracks.
Authorities believe the driver of the passenger train did not stop at a red light, causing the crash with a freight train in Bolognina di Crevalcore, north of Bologna, prosecutor Enrico Cieri said.
