ZHOUCUN - The four French nationals injured in Monday's deadly east China train crash are to be sent to Beijing for treatment, the head of a local hospital said on Tuesday.

The Embassy of France in China has arranged a special plane to move them from Jinan, capital of Shangdong Province, to Beijing, said Liang Minglai, head of Zibo Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

The hospital is to transfer two of the injured to Jinan Airport late on Tuesday evening, and they will leave the city early on Wednesday, he said. The other two would be sent later in the morning.
