Turkey train crash: Several killed in high speed train collision

At least four people have been killed and scores injured in a crash involving a high speed train in Ankara, according to news agencies.

At least 43 people were wounded in the crash on Thursday, according to reports citing Ankara Governor Vasip Sahin.

Sahin said the high speed train, which was travelling from Ankara to the central province of Konya, had crashed into a locomotive which carries out track inspections.

Turkish state news agency Anadolu said two cars of the high-speed train derailed in the accident.

Video footage showed emergency workers at the scene, working to rescue people from carriages trapped beneath the mangled metal wreckage of an overpass at the Marsandiz train station, to the west of Ankara.
