Trams collide on iconic Rotterdam bridge, 15 hurt

ROTTERDAM: Two trams collided on a key bridge in Rotterdam on Wednesday leaving at least 15 hurt, one seriously, officials said. The Erasmus Bridge is a major landmark in the Dutch port city, spanning the Maas River, and a major transport hub. Webcam footage of the bridge showed a tram steaming into the back of another, sending debris flying across the lanes of traffic and damaging both trams. An AFP reporter on the scene saw extensive damage to both trams, with mangled metal and shattered glass.
