Public broadcaster DR showed images ​of two yellow and grey trains, ⁠both with visible damage to ​the front, facing each other in a ​wooded area.

The incident happened north of Copenhagen, on a train line linking the towns ​of Hillerod and Kagerup, police ​said in a statement.

“It is two local trains ‌that ⁠have collided head-on,” a spokesperson for the rescue services told Reuters.

“There are injuries among the passengers. Everyone is out of ​the trains, ​so ⁠no one is trapped… Large resources have been dispatched to ​the scene,” the spokesperson added.

The ​injured ⁠have since been transported away from the scene of the accident in ⁠ambulances ​and helicopters, the fire ​department said on X.
