LONDON: One person died after two trains collided about 100 kilometres north of London on Friday, with the health minister confirming there were multiple injuries.
A video posted on social media by one of the passengers showed what appeared to be the front of one train entangled with the back of another.
According to LBC news agency, Bedford hospital is reportedly expecting at least 50 casualties to arrive and has ordered “all hands on deck”. Staff have also been warned that more fatalities could be expected.
The East of England ambulance service said it had sent multiple resources, including an air ambulance, to the collision on the railway south of Bedford, and urged people to avoid the area.
