<p>BERLIN (AP) — Investigators believe a landslide brought on by heavy rainfall likely caused a regional train to derail in southern Germany, killing three people and injuring 41 more.</p>
<p>More than 100 people were aboard the Deutsche Bahn train when at least two carriages derailed Sunday evening in a forested area near Riedlingen, about 158 kilometers (98 miles) west of Munich.</p>
<p>The train's 32-year-old driver, a 36-year-old apprentice and a 70-year-old passenger were killed, police said Monday. Some of the 41 injured were seriously hurt.</p>
<p>Police said the downpours in the area caused a sewage shaft to overflow, likely triggering the landslide of an embankment where the derailment occurred.</p>
<p>There was no evidence of an external influence that could have caused the derailment, police said.</p>
<p>Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages.</p>
<p>"Such pictures shake us to the core," Deutsche Bahn CEO Richard Lutz said Monday, offering his condolences to the victims' families.</p>
<p>He pledged full support for the effort to clear up the cause.</p>
