UK train crash kills one person and injures several others

One person was killed and several others injured when two trains collided about 100 kilometres north of London, British Transport Police said Friday.

Emergency services were called about 5.15 p.m. to the line south of Bedford where two East Midlands Railway trains were involved in the crash. Carriages appeared to remain upright on the tracks while a video posted on social media by one of the passengers showed the front of one

train entangled with the back of another.

The East of England Ambulance Service said a large number of crews had been deployed including more than 20 ambulances and six air ambulances. One person died at the scene, 11 people suffered very serious injuries while 22 were seriously injured and 56 others had minor injuries.
