国际英语资讯:5 injured as train derails in northern Iran

TEHRAN, Oct. 6 -- At least five people were injured as a passenger train derailed in Iran's northern province of Qazvin on Saturday, Tasnim news agency reported.

The train, bound for the capital Tehran, derailed shortly after leaving the city of Qazvin on Saturday afternoon.

The incident did not cause serious casualties because of the train's slow speed.
