The number of people who were killed in a collision between an express train and a bus in Slovakia has reportedly risen to seven.
Five others were injured, public television station RTVS reported, citing rescue services.
Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok said on Friday that the cause of the accident was still being investigated.
The news agency TASR reported that there were more than 100 passengers on the EuroCity train travelling from Prague to Budapest when it collided with a bus near the town of Nove Zamky.
The bus was literally torn apart in the collision. The locomotive of the train set on fire.
The Interior Ministry confirmed that all of the dead were passengers in the bus. Not all of them have been identified.
The train driver was among those injured. He and others had to be taken to Bratislava and other hospitals further away because the nearest district hospital, Nove Zamky, was closed due to flooding.
