Seven Canadians are among dozens injured after two trains collided head-on in Peru on Tuesday, Global Affairs Canada confirmed.
The collision took place on the railway leading to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A train driver was killed and 40 more people were injured in the collision between trains operated by Inca Rail S.A. and PeruRail S.A., which mainly deliver tourists to the historic site.
A health official told Reuters that about 20 people were in relatively serious condition.
Foreign tourists, including the Canadians, are among the injured.
