NARO-FOMINSK Russia (Reuters) - A freight train jumped the tracks and collided with a passenger train near Moscow on Tuesday, ripping the side off one of the carriages and killing at least six people.

Dozens were injured, and Russian officials said the death toll could rise. All of the windows and most of the side of one green carriage had gone, a Reuters cameraman on the scene said.
