One person has been killed and several injured in a head-on collision between a freight train and a passenger train in Luxembourg.
The CLT rail company said in a statement that the passenger train, heading into France, went through a stop signal for reasons that remain unclear.
Police said the crash in southern Bettembourg left some people stuck in a badly mangled passenger carriage.
One person died while two were taken to hospital for further treatment.
Images from the crash showed the locomotive of the freight car deep into the passenger train with several cargo carriages derailed and spread over the other tracks behind it.
Traffic into France was suspended for at least 48 hours.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
