Three people have died and nine injured after a passenger train travelling at high speed crashed into the back of a freight train in Belgium.
Some of the injured are described as critical after the impact derailed two of the passenger train’s six carriages. Emergency services had to cut some of the passengers out of the wreckage.
The accident happened on the Namur-Liege line in east Belgium, at 11pm local time on Sunday.
Local mayor Francis Dejon told Belgian news agency Belga: "We were very lucky not to have more victims."
