Greece train crash: What we know so far


Two trains have collided in northern Greece, killing at least 43 people and
injuring dozens of others. Here's what we know about the incident so far.

What happened?
A passenger service carrying some 350 people crashed with a freight train shortly after leaving
Larissa just before midnight on Tuesday. The incident happened as the passenger train emerged
from a tunnel in the municipality of Tempi. The first four carriages of the passenger train were
derailed, and the first two caught fire and were "almost completely destroyed", Thessaly regional
governor Kostas Agorastos says.

How many casualties were there?


The exact number of casualties is unclear, but Greek news reports say at least 38 people have
died and dozens more have been injured, some of them seriously. A report by the Greek public
broadcaster ERT said members of the passenger train's crew were among the dead. It said most
of the casualties had been recovered from the third carriage, which was derailed. A search is
continuing of the wreckage of the first two carriages involving 150 firefighters, using 17
vehicles and four cranes. Forty ambulances are on the scene.
