BERLIN (AP) — A passenger train collided with a vehicle at a crossing near the town of Tinglev in southern Denmark on Friday, leaving one person dead and injuring some 20 others.

The extent of the injuries is still unclear, but photos from the scene show derailed and overturned carriages.

A large number of emergency services were on the scene, and local news outlet TV2 said they had deployed drones and search dogs.

The company in charge of operating Denmark's rail network, Banedanmark, said on X that the accident happened when the train collided with a vehicle at a level crossing.
