At least five people were killed and two others injured in two consecutive
railway accidents in southwest China's Yunnan Province Tuesday, local officials
said.
A train bumped a farmer to death who was trying to run across the track near
a small village in Dali City at around 2:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Two hours later, another train rammed two of the villagers gathering at the
site of the first accident to death as the farmers failed to shun away.
A villager died on the way to hospital and another died in hospital as
emergency treatment failed.
Two injured farmers were receiving medical treatment.
