Horror as crash between high-speed train and truck leaves one dead and dozens of injured
Six of the 25 people were left in a serious condition after the horror crash, which occurred on a level crossing.
One person was been killed and dozens more injured when a high-speed train and a truck collided in Germany on Tuesday.
Six of the 25 people were left in serious condition after the horror crash, which occurred on a level crossing outside Hamburg.
A fire department spokesperson said a 55-year-old man was resuscitated at the scene but later died from his injuries.
The crash involved an ICE train, which had 291 people on board at the time, and a vehicle loaded with rails that were left strewn on the ground, photos from the scene showed.
Police said uninjured passengers were evacuated and transported by bus to a nearby station.
It's not yet clear what led to the collision.
The line between Hamburg-Harburg and Maschen in Lower Saxony was temporarily closed.
Other trains were temporarily diverted.
