ROME — A head-on collision between two trains that killed 13 people in southern Italy was probably caused by a signal fault and human error, investigators said Friday.
State railway officials said 34 people were injured in Thursday’s crash just south of Calabria.
Two cars hurtled off the tracks after the trains collided on a bend. Investigators said an automatic signaling system was out of order and a backup procedure between stations along the line appeared to have failed.
