BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Human error was to blame for China's worst train accident in more

than a decade, China's official news agency reported.

Additionally, one of the trains was traveling over its speed limit, Chinese authorities were
quoted as saying in the official Xinhua News Agency.
Two passenger trains collided in eastern China's Shandong province Monday morning,
killing at least 70 and injuring 420, the Xinhua said.
One train on its way from Beijing to Qingdao, a city in eastern China, derailed and crashed
into a train which was traveling from the Shandong city of Yantai to Xuzhou in the eastern
Jiangsu Province, according to a report by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
The wreck happened in the city of Zibo in Shandong Province at 4:43 a.m., the report said.
Xinhua said the collision was the deadliest train accident in the country since 1997.
"It [the train] toppled 90 degrees to one side and then all the way to the other side," a
passenger named Zhang was quoted in Xinhua. "When it finally went off the tracks, many people
fell on me and hot water poured out of their thermos flasks."
Local villagers joined police officers and medical workers in the rescue effort, breaking train
windows with farm tools to pull out stranded passengers, Xinhua said. Survivors also joined in,
using blankets from sleeper cars as stretchers to lift the seriously injured from the stricken
carriages.
