Five people have been killed as a train derailed and caught fire in Eckwersheim near Strasbourg in France. Rescue teams are working at the site.
A high-speed TGV train derailed in Eckwersheim in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace in northeastern France mid-afternoon on Saturday.

Local officials told AFP that five people died in the accident, which was apparently caused by "excessive speed.”

Local media reports there are injured, but the numbers aren’t clear yet. Several people have been airlifted from the scene on a helicopter, RTL reports.

There has been no official confirmation on the casualties. A source close to the investigation told AFP that 60 technicians were on board the train when the accident happened.
