China train crash kills 70, injures hundreds
into a ditch, state media said.
At least 420 people were taken to hospital, with 70 in critical condition, Xinhua news agency said, suggesting the death toll could rise further.
Xinhua said authorities had determined the crash -- the worst in China since 1997 -- was caused by human error, and that one of the trains might have been traveling much faster than the speed limit.
"Although investigations are continuing, some investigators said that T195 was traveling at 131 kilometers per hour before the accident, far in excess of the speed limit of 80 km/h," it added.
