A train driver was killed and 35 people injured, five of them seriously, in a frontal collision between two passenger trains at a rural station in western Switzerland on Monday evening.
The body of the driver was recovered overnight by rescue workers, having been trapped inside the cab of one of the trains. Twenty-six people were brought to area hospitals for treatment.
The accident occurred when one train was entering the station of Granges-Marnand as the other was leaving. The line is a single track at that point and it is not clear why both trains were on it at the same time.
A number of ambulances and a helicopter were called in, and police and fire engines were also present at the site.
The Swiss Federal Railways set up a hotline for relatives and friends.
The line serves regional traffic between Lausanne and Payerne. Rail traffic was cancelled on the stretch between Moudon and Payerne, and the railway company laid on substitute buses. A message on its website advised travellers to take a different route, and warned them their journeys would take longer.
Authorities have launched an investigation into what happened, with the Swiss Accident Investigation Board taking the lead.
