A collision between a long-distance train and an articulated lorry in Hamburg has injured 12 people, German news agency dpa reported.
One person was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries while another was seriously injured.
Ten others suffered only slight injuries, according to the agency.
The train crashed into the articulated lorry, seemingly loaded with train tracks, at a level crossing in the Hamburg district of Ronneburg. The load was spread across the accident site.
The railway line between Hamburg-Harburg and Maschen in Lower Saxony was temporarily closed and other trains were being rerouted, dpa reported.
