Two trains collided in Denmark: there are casualties 0 17

According to media reports, about ten people were injured in the accident that occurred approximately 40 kilometers north of the capital between Hillerød and Kagerup.

In a statement, the police referred to it as a "serious accident," but a police representative told AFP that all passengers had been evacuated from the trains.

"There was a collision between two trains, and police and emergency services have been mobilized in large numbers," the statement said.

"It was a head-on collision, and there are injured passengers," he told AFP, without going into details.

Denmark prides itself on its safety records; however, as a result of a railway disaster in 2019, eight people died and 16 were injured.

In August of last year, an express train collided with a farm truck at a railway crossing, resulting in one death and 27 injuries.
