A passenger train collided with a cargo train in central Greece late on Tuesday, leaving dozens of people dead and "tens of people" injured, according to the local fire brigade. The local media is calling it the "worst train accident Greece has ever seen."

The two trains — a passenger train traveling from Athens to Thessaloniki and a cargo train from Thessaloniki to Larissa — collided near the central city of Larissa, Konstantinos Agorastos, governor of the broader Thessaly region, told SKAI TV.

"The collision was very strong," he said, adding that the first four carriages of the passenger train had been derailed. The first two carriages were "almost completely destroyed," Agorastos said, before adding that around 250 passengers had been safely transported to Thessaloniki on buses.
