Greek president cuts short visit to travel to crash site

Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the president of Greece, cut short a trip to Moldova on business to view the crash site.

The president was cited by Reuters news agency as saying, "Unfortunately, I have to postpone my visit in order to be close to my people, to support those who need it."

To assist those "on this death train," she said, "a life-saving effort" is currently in progress.

The last night's collision of two trains near the city of Larissa left at least 36 people dead and scores more hurt.
