Two people were killed in Ukraine when a train hit an ambulance vehicle transporting a woman in labor some two days after a major bus-train collision claimed dozens of lives in the east of the country.
The ambulance vehicle, with the driver, a doctor and a married couple, was hit by a train while crossing a railroad near the village of Tarasovka near the capital Kiev.
"The driver ignored sound and light signals and tried to cross the tracks, and a collision occurred. According to preliminary reports, two people died," a spokesman for the state traffic police department said.
He did not specify who was killed in the crash.
The incident occurred late on Wednesday, the day of mourning for 43 people killed when a train hit a bus at an unmanned level crossing in the eastern Ukrainian city of Marhanets on Tuesday. Ten people are still in serous condition.
