ANKARA, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- At least 15 people were injured when a passenger train collided with a freight train in Turkey's central province of Sivas on Monday.

According to local media Sabah, the two trains were traveling at a low speed before the crash, but heavy fog made the drivers fail to see red light and collided head-on-head.

The TV footage showed both the trains were badly damaged but fortunately didn't derail.

Gendarmerie and rescue teams were dispatched to the scene of the accident. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals.

In July, a passenger train derailed in northwestern Tekirdag province because the track subgrade was eroded by heavy rains, leaving 24 dead and more than 120 others injured.
