WASHINGTON--Two Washington, D. C. subway trains collided during the Monday afternoon rush hour, killing six people and 70 in a mass of tangled metal.
Mayor Adrian Fenty called the crash the deadliest in the 33-year history of the city's Metro subway system.
Fire Chief Dennis Rubin said 70 people had been treated for injuries, including at least two who were critically injured.
At least one car from one of the trains was hurled onto the top of the other train in the accident, which occurred on above-ground tracks.
