Moscow (CNN) -- A cargo train derailed Tuesday and crashed into a passenger train near Moscow, killing several passengers and wounding dozens, officials said.

The Russian Healthcare Ministry reported that six people died in the crash. State-run news agency ITAR-Tass said nine were killed, according to the Moldovan Ministry of Transport.
Of the 45 people injured in the crash, 18 were taken to hospitals, and five are in critical condition, ITAR-Tass reported.

The accident took place near Naro-Fominsk, southwest of Moscow, the Emergency Ministry told CNN.

My news down here in Australia suggested a broken rail derailed a train ,and another travelling on an adjacent track hit the derailed cars.

Having ridden many overnight trains in Russia and Ukraine I noted the complete lack of any emergency exits or instructions on how to exit in case of an emergency.
