A train ran into a group of railway workers in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming on Thursday, killing 11 and injuring two, officials there said, the country's deadliest rail accident in more than a decade.
The train, which was testing earthquake detection equipment, hit workers on a curved section of track at the city's Luoyang Town railway station, the officials said.
The station in Yunnan province has since resumed normal services and the cause of the accident is being investigated, they added in a statement.
Also on Thursday, two railway maintenance workers died after being hit by a train in Deyang in Sichuan, another southwestern Chinese province, Jimu News reported.
China's rail network is the world's largest, spanning more than 160,000 km and racking up billions of trips each year.
