While two drivers whose cars collided at a grade crossing in Venice, Italy, argued nearby over who was at fault:

-A Milan-bound train came along and smashed into the cars abandoned on the tracks, sending them into the path of an express headed for Venice.- The Venice-bound train crashed into the vehicles, shaking up a number of passengers and sending four to the hospital with minor injuries.

Antonio Stival, chief spokesman for the Venice railroad station, said 20 trains carrying some 20,000 people were held up for 21/2 hours Monday while the tracks were cleared of debris.
