    CANBERRA, April 28 (Xinhua) -- At least two people were killed when a train collided with a truck at a level crossing in central Victoria state, Australia, Friday afternoon.

    Police fear further casualties in the crash which happened when the train was traveling between the cities of Melbourne and Ararat, Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported.

    A driver of the train was killed, and the identity of the second person among the fatalities is not yet known, a spokeswoman of V/Line, Victoria's largest regional passenger transport operator, was quoted as saying.

    She said the number of other casualties was not yet known, adding injured passengers have been taken to a hospital, while those not injured were being taken to Ararat by bus.

    A Victoria Police spokeswoman said there could be more casualties, or there could be more people injured. However, it is just too early to establish the specifics, she said. Enditem
