MOSCOW, February 24 (RIA Novosti) - Two people were injured as a train collided with a car in the northwest of the Moscow Region, the Russian Emergencies Ministry has reported.

“A commuter train bound from Moscow to the town of Shakhovskaya collided with a car at a passive railroad crossing in the Volokolamsk District of the Moscow Region on Saturday evening,” the ministry said.

It was not immediately clear whether those injured were riding inside the car.
