AMSTERDAM, Oct 11 (Reuters) - A Thalys international train hit a Dutch intercity train on an adjoining track at Gouda station in the Netherlands on Saturday, causing a number of minor injuries, the Dutch public broadcaster NOS reported.

No one was seriously injured in the accident, which took place at about 11:15 a.m. (0915 GMT), the broadcaster said.
