Two trains taking tourists to and from Peru’s famed archaeological site collided, killing a railroad worker

Two trains taking tourists to and from Peru’s famed archaeological site of Machu Picchu crashed on Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring about 30 passengers.

The person killed was a railroad worker, according to Jhonathan Castillo Gonzalez, a captain with the Cuzco police department. He told the Associated Press that the railway suspended services along the rail line connecting Machu Picchu with the nearby city of Cuzco after the accident.

Frigid temperatures in Great Lakes, north-east and midwest as tens of thousands face power outages and icy travel

A wild winter storm brought strong winds, heavy snow and frigid temperatures to the Great Lakes and north-east on Tuesday, a day after a bomb cyclone barreled across the midwest and left tens of thousands of customers without power.

The storm hit parts of the Plains and Great Lakes on Monday with sharply colder air, strong winds and a mix of snow, ice and rain, leading to treacherous travel. Forecasters said it intensified quickly enough to meet the criteria of a bomb cyclone, a system that strengthens rapidly as pressure drops.
