Tourists hurt in Vienna boat collision
At least 19 people are know to have been injured when a boat carrying tourists crashed into a bridge in the city of Vienna.
According to the BBC News website, the European Viking ship was carrying British, American and Canadian tourists when it hit a pillar of the Reichsbruecke bridge, over the river Danube in the centre of the city.
While many of the passengers suffered scratches and bruises, none of them are believed to have been badly hurt.
The BBC reports that thousand of tourists enjoy cruises on the Danube in Vienna each year; in 1996 eight Slovak tourists were killed when a tour boat sank.
