A train accident in west-central Cuba on Tuesday killed 14 people and injured 42 others, a hospital official said.

There was no immediate description of the accident from Cuban news media or government officials.

An official at the main hospital in Jovellanos, 75 miles southeast of Havana, said by telephone that 14 people had been killed and 42 injured. She declined to give her name and said she had no other information.

A receptionist at a hospital in the provincial capital of Matanzas said shortly before midnight that victims were also being treated there and transferred the call to an administrator who said he was too busy to talk.
