The train went off the tracks in Baden-Württemberg at approximately 6:10 pm (local time) near Zwiefaltendorf in the Biberach district, according to a report by German newspaper Bild.

A spokesperson for the Federal Police Stuttgart told Bild: “Two carriages of the Deutsche Bahn regional express have derailed.”

Police told German news agency dpa that several people have been killed, but exact numbers remain unknown.

At least three people were injured in the crash, dpa reported.

Police told dpa that the extent of the injuries is not yet clear. 

The train is said to have been travelling from Sigmaringen to Ulm, two cities about 43 miles apart in south-west Germany.

Video footage from the shocking scene shows firefighters trying to rescue passengers while loud screams are heard.

Part of the train lies on its side, with the roof of one carriage open.

The carriages that came off the tracks lie in a wooded embankment among trees.

Firefighters were seen using saws to free passengers from the overturned train.
