A train driver has died after two train services collided in the Bedford area of the UK on Friday, in what has been declared a major incident.
East Midlands Railway (EMR) said its 16:40 service from Corby to London St Pancras crashed into the 15:50 Nottingham to London St Pancras service at Bedford South.
"Tragically, this incident resulted in the fatality of an EMR driver and a number of injuries to passengers on board," the rail company said in a statement.
More than 80 people were treated for injuries following the crash, and 28 remain in hospital, British Transport Police Chief Constable Lucy D'Orsi said on Saturday. Nine people are in a critical condition, she added.
One passenger told the BBC it felt like he had "been in a bomb explosion".
