<p>A head-on train crash in eastern Germany killed 10 people and injured at least 33 others, eight of them severely, local firefighters said.</p>
<p>Police feared the death toll could rise.</p>
<p>A passenger and a cargo train crashed head-on near Hordorf village, close to Saxony-Anhalt&#8217;s state capital Magdeburg, and several cars of the train carrying some 45 passengers derailed and overturned, a spokesman for the district&#8217;s firefighters said.</p>
<p>He declined to be named in line with department policy.</p>
<p>Rescue operations are still under way, and police had no immediate information as to what could have caused the accident late on Saturday evening, regional police spokesman Frank Kuessner said.</p>
<p>Eight bodies were retrieved from the local passenger train and some 35 were injured, he said. Mr Kuessner had no immediate explanation for the differing casualty figures.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rescue operations are still ongoing. The death toll may well rise further,&#8221; he said. Almost 200 police and rescue workers were at the crash site, he added.</p>
<p>The accident happened about 125 miles south-west of Berlin, Germany&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>Saxony-Anhalt&#8217;s Deputy Interior Minister Ruediger Erben, who rushed to the scene, said the trains must have crashed head-on at a high rate of speed, German news agency DAPD reported. </p>
<p>The noise of the collision was heard in Oschersleben village, some 4.35 miles from the crash site.</p>
