Death toll in Italy train crash rises to 20
A local official says the death toll in the head-on train crash in southern Italy is at 20.
An official identified by Sky TG24 as the president of the province of Andria says that rescue operations were continuing.
The official says a boy, about 7, is among the injured, but does not have life-threatening injuries.
Appealing for blood donations, the official says that there could still be people trapped in the wreckage of the two locomotives.
