A subway train has crashed into a block of flats in the Chilean capital Santiago. No one was killed or injured. The spectacular moment of collision was caught by CCTV cameras.
While being tested after repair on Wednesday morning in Lo Ovalle, an area in Santiago, the train derailed at high speed and slammed into a private condominium nearby, along with four parked vehicles.
The driver received minor bruises and was said to be in a state of shock.
The subway system authorities expressed their regrets over the incident.
