An official in northern China says a train derailment at a railway construction site has killed 11 people and left at least one injured.
A man surnamed Zhang with the government of Inner Mongolia’s Baotou city says the train that derailed Friday morning was carrying stones used in the construction of a rail line linking Baotou to Mandalt, a border town near neighboring Mongolia.
Zhang says the cause of the accident was still under investigation on Saturday.
Workplace accidents are common in China, with thousands dying every year in part because of lax enforcement of safety rules and poor worker training.
