A passenger train slammed into a construction crane and derailed near The Hague in the early hours of this morning sending two carriages into a field next to the tracks. One person died and 19 were hospitalized, Dutch emergency services said.
Police opened an investigation to establish if any crime was committed. Another independent probe was opened into the cause of the crash.
Two of the bright yellow and blue train carriages came to rest perpendicular to the tracks across the small canal and partially in a field. What appeared to be the front of the train was badly damaged. Other parts of the train were partially derailed.
