Many people have been hurt in a train collision in Switzerland. The collision happened at the train station in the Swiss town of Rafz, around 30 km (19 miles) north of Zurich.
The crash was between a local train and a high-speed train on its way from Zurich to Stuttgart.
Eyewitnesses said the high-speed train hit the other from behind. "There was an accident this morning, it's serious, there are injured," a police spokeswoman said. "Ambulances have hurried to the spot," she added.
One rescue worker said as many as 49 people had been injured.
A passenger on the local train said that his train had been pulling out of the station when the driver braked suddenly. "An express train from Zurich came up from behind and hit the side of our train, then our train derailed," said the man, who did not give his name.
The Swiss rail service is generally admired for its safety and efficiency - the Swiss are the biggest users of trains in Europe.
