<p>Dozens of emergency service vehicles, including an air ambulance, went to the scene near Stonehaven where the ScotRail train crashed at about 9.40am on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Rail industry sources told the PA news agency the suspected cause of the incident is a landslip.</p>
<p>The train involved was the 06.38 Aberdeen to Stonehaven, made up of a locomotive and four carriages.<br />
It is understood the locomotive and three carriages derailed and slid down an embankment.<br />
Unions called the crash a “tragedy” as a major incident was declared at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.</p>
<p>Separate sources told the PA news agency at least one person has died, although that has yet to be officially confirmed.</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s obviously a terrible situation</p></blockquote>
<p>Speaking before First Minister’s Questions on Thursday, Nicola Sturgeon said although “details are still emerging”, there are “early reports of serious injuries”.</p>
<p>She said: “My immediate thoughts and the thoughts of those across the chamber are with all those involved.”<br />
Local MP Andrew Bowie said he had spoken to the UK’s Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who is liaising with Network Rail Scotland and ScotRail about the derailment.</p>
<p>He told the PA news agency: “It’s obviously a terrible situation, a train derailment, the emergency services are on the scene.</p>
<p>“I’ve already spoken to Grant Shapps, who has spoken to Network Rail and the British Transport Police, who are obviously investigating and assisting.</p>
<p>“I am aware that Aberdeen Royal Infirmary has declared a major incident.”</p>
<p>Train operator ScotRail posted a message on Twitter shortly after 6.30am warning that services across Scotland would be disrupted due to “extremely heavy rain flooding”.</p>
<p>A video shared on Facebook at 7.30am shows heavy flooding in Stonehaven.</p>
