Poland train crash: 15 killed after trains collide Several of the passengers were foreigners, including people from Ukraine, Spain and France, but none of them appeared to be among the dead or badly injured, Tusk said. Rescue workers ended their search for the dead and prosecutors opened their investigation early Sunday. The trains, carrying about 350 people in total, were travelling toward each other on the same track when they collided head-on in the small town of Szczekociny in southern Poland. One train was travelling from the eastern city of Przemysl to Warsaw, while the other - on the wrong track - was heading south from Warsaw to Krakow. Some maintenance work was being done on the tracks in Szczekociny before the accident happened, official said. Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski was also planning to visit the site on Sunday, his office said.
