BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- At least three people have died and 30 injured in a collision between two passengers trains near Budapest, Hungary.

Monday's accident in the town of Monorierdo occurred when a local passenger train ran into the back of a long-distance InterCity train heading to Budapest from the eastern city of Debrecen.

National Rescue Service spokesman Pal Gyorfi says two women and one man died at the scene.

At least eight other passengers were seriously hurt, some with life-threatening injuries.

Gyorfi said rescue workers are still working in the wreckage and it's possible that more casualties will be found.
