Around 32 people are understood to have died and at least 86 have been left injured after a horrific train collision in Greece, the Mirror reports. The crash took place just before midnight yesterday evening, near the town of Tempi, when the intercity passenger service from Athens to Thessaloniki smashed into a freight train.
A total of 86 civilians including children have been confirmed injured after the freak accident, with 25 of these believed to be serious. Cops and the armed forces have joined firefighters at the scene, as the mercy crews continued their search along the train for more victims, with dozens of ambulances being used to take the injured to nearby hospitals.
A statement from Hellenic Trains said: "At Evangelismos there was a head-on collision between two trains: a freight train and train IC 62 which had departed from Athens to Thessaloniki. About 350 passengers were on board at the time of the collision. Firefighters and Hellenic Train staff rushed to the scene, participating in rescue operations and providing assistance to travelers."
