In the German city of Hamburg, an intercity high-speed train collided with a truck at a railway crossing.

Axar.az reports that one person died at the scene, and 25 others were injured. Six of the injured are in relatively serious condition.

The intercity express (ICE) train was headed to the northwestern city of Bremen when it crashed into a truck loaded with railroad tracks at a crossing in Hamburg's Rönneburg district.

After the collision, the passenger train dragged the truck for some distance. The truck driver managed to escape at the last moment by jumping out of the vehicle.

The train had 291 passengers on board.
