At least nineteen people were killed when a train collided with a bus that had broken down at a level crossing near Moscow.

Two children and three adults have been taken to hospital where a team of emergency physicians and pediatric surgeons were treating them.

According to reports, the children were critically injured, and the adults were in a grave condition.

Several passengers on the bus had got off and tried to move it away from the tracks, but they did not move it in time.
