STOCKHOLM, Aug 15 (Reuters) – One person was killed and several people were injured when a train hit a vehicle and derailed in southern Denmark on Friday, Danish police said.
Pictures from the scene showed that a carriage had been torn from the train and was lying on the side, Danish TV2 reported.
Police said that of the 95 people on board the train, one was killed, and several were injured, of whom two were carried away by helicopter, the police of Southern Jutland region of Denmark said in a press release.
