Regional police spokesman Alexandru Cotet says the accident appears to have occurred when the bus driver ignored a red light at a train crossing and slammed into a locomotive that was passing by on the railway line.

All the casualties were on the bus, and it was not immediately clear if its driver survived the crash.

The accident occurred Tuesday in the town of Anenii Noi, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of the city of Chisinau.
