Two trains have collided in Denmark, leaving four people critically injured in what police called a major incident.
The collision occurred at around 6.30am local time near Hillerod, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of Copenhagen.
Twelve other people have minor injuries, according to the Greater Copenhagen Fire Department.
Everyone has been evacuated out of the trains, according to a spokesperson for the North Zealand police.
Investigators are looking into what caused the collision.
Photos from the scene show the front ends of the trains smashed, though both remained upright on the tracks.
The mayor of the nearby town of Gribskov Trine Egetved said in a post on Facebook that some of the injured were flown to hospital.
She said the crash occurred on a local rail line that is used by many Gribskov residents, employees and schoolchildren.
