 Train crash on Danish bridge kills six
COPENHAGEN 2 Jan (ANA) - Six people have been killed in a train accident on the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark, police said.
The bridge linking the islands of Zealand and Funen has been shut after the incident, and people are reportedly being evacuated.
No cause is yet known for the crash, but early reports suggest objects from a cargo train hit a passenger train en route to Copenhagen in a heavy storm.
Emergency services are reportedly struggling to reach the train.
Tens of thousands of vehicles cross the bridge every day.
Denmark's capital city Copenhagen is on the island of Zealand, while the city of Odense lies on Funen to the west.(ANA)
