Two trains crash near Machu Picchu in Peru

LIMA, Peru — Two trains have crashed near the ancient Incan citadel of Machu Picchu, an archaeological site in Peru visited by thousands of tourists each year. 

Images posted on social media showed two tourist trains pressed against each other on a rail track and broken glass behind one set of seats. Other videos and photographs showed tourists with backpacks making calls on cellphones and sitting on the ground beside the trains. 

RPP News reported the incident happened at about 10 a.m. Tuesday. One witness said one of the trains had stopped because of a protest in the area.

Local media reported that 28 people were injured, and that most injuries were not serious. However, there was no immediate confirmation from government officials on how many people were injured, or their conditions.
