The regional trains crashed on Monday evening in Granges-pres-Marnand in the country’s Vaud canton, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of the capital Bern, the BBC reported.
One train’s driver died in the collision. His body was recovered from the wreckage early Tuesday, the British broadcaster quoted Swiss police as saying. The other driver was injured.
