Several killed in train accident on Danish island bridge

Several people have been killed in a train accident on a bridge linking the central Danish islands of Zealand and Funen, police said.

Officers did not provide further details about those killed or the number of people injured in today's incident, which happened at about 8am local time.

Danish media reported that a tarpaulin on a freight train hit a passenger train going in the opposite direction on the Storebaelt bridge, prompting it to brake suddenly.

Police are scheduled to give a news conference later.
