Everyone has been evacuated out of the trains, according to a spokesperson for the North Zealand police.

Officials originally said four people were critically injured but revised that figure hours after the crash.

It was not immediately clear whether the train’s drivers were among the victims.

Investigators are looking into what caused the collision.

Photos from the scene show the front ends of the trains smashed, though both remained upright on the tracks.
