A passenger train carrying about 60 people derailed in the Netherlands, killing one person and injuring dozens, according to Dutch emergency services.
The train derailed after colliding with construction equipment in Voorschoten, about eight kilometres (five miles) north of The Hague.
“At least 30 people were injured and are being treated on the spot. The seriously injured are being taken to hospital, while 11 are at homes of nearby residents,” Hollands Midden emergency services said.
“Specialists are working to secure the train.”
The accident happened at around 3:30 am (0130 GMT) when the double-decker intercity train smacked into the building material on the tracks at Voorschoten, about eight kilometres (five miles) north of The Hague.
Images from the scene and news reports showed a front carriage derailed and ploughing into a field, while a second derailed carriage landed on its side.
A third carriage remained upright, while a fourth caught fire, the ANP news agency said.
Around 60 people were on board at the time of the accident.
Ambulance services rushed to the scene en masse, including a trauma helicopter, to take the most seriously injured passengers to the hospital.
It was not immediately clear how serious their injuries were.
“We heard a loud bang and suddenly the lights went out,” an unidentified witness told the local Omroep West television news.
“We couldn’t initially get out of the train because there was no electricity,” said the man, who appeared in a state of shock.
