Train crash kills two in Altoona Iowa Interstate wreck
Investigators began a probe as two freight trains collided near Des Moines forcing evacuations for more than 1,000 residents. NTSB examined the engine and found no obvious fault while fires burned denatured alcohol in tank cars and crews waited for flames to subside. Authorities noted a long investigation ahead, with drug testing and witness interviews planned.
