Train carrying 55 people derails in Norway, killing at least 1 person and injuring 4
Police say a rock slide probably caused the derailment when the train was on its way from Trondheim to the northern town of Bodoe
The Arctic Circle Express was on its way from Trondheim to the remote northern town of Bodoe, above the Arctic Circle, when it left the mountainside track.
The four people injured were taken to a nearby hospital. Their condition was unclear. Those who were unhurt were taken by bus to the town of Mo i Rana, 228km (140 miles) south of Bodoe.
Police told Norwegian news agency NTB that a rock slide probably caused the derailment of the train, which was made up of a locomotive and five carriages. The VG newspaper carried a photo of a huge rock on the track that had smashed into a train carriage.
One of the passengers, Ingvart Strand Mølster, told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that a rock hit the train but no one in his carriage was hurt, with the exception of one person who suffered a minor ankle injury.
