Five people are reported to have been killed in a collision between a passenger train and a double-decker city bus in the Canadian city of Ottawa.

The front of the bus was sheared off by the collision on the track at a level crossing.

The train engine was derailed along with two of the carriages but all remained upright.

Ottawa Fire Services spokesman Marc Messier said fewer than six passengers on the bus were killed and around half a dozen more have been taken to hospital, at least three with serious injuries.

A police spokesman said the dead were the driver of the bus and four passengers.

Several witnesses, including two passengers on the bus, said it had been driven through a lowered level crossing barrier as the train was approaching.

The Canadian Press reported witness Pascal Lolgis as saying: “He didn’t stop. He must have lost his brakes. Or he had an … attack or whatever. He just didn’t stop. He just keep going like that. Then he get hit.”

VIA Rail, which operates the national passenger service in Canada, said there were no major injuries reported on the train. The crash occurred just before 9.00 am local time in the west end of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city.

http://www.euronews.com/ New York’s Guggenheim Museum has been taken over by stunning black and white monochromatic art. The museum is currently presenting its new exhibition, “Picasso Black and White” which focuses on Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s lifelong exploration of the black-and-white palette. The show features 118 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from 1904 to 1971.

The art on display does not belong to one single period, as he was inspired by the simplicity and power of monochrome throughout his life.

Impressive black-and-white canvasses figure among his vibrant interpretations of historical masterpieces, such as the series he dedicated to Velazquez’s Meninas.

The art on show has come from private and public collections in Europe and the United States – six of which have never before been exhibited before.

“Picasso Black and White” will run until the end of January.
