Two trains collided head-on in Greece killing at least 32 people and injuring 85 late on Tuesday night, the fire brigade said.
An intercity passenger train travelling from Athens to the northern city of Thessaloniki collided at high speed with a cargo train outside the city of Larissa in central Greece, said the governor of the Thessaly region.
The impact caused a fire in a number of the passenger carriages, burning many commuters who were rushed to hospitals.
About 250 passengers were evacuated safely to Thessaloniki on buses.
Local media reported about 350 people were travelling on the passenger train, which departed Athens around 7.30 pm (05:30 GMT). The fire brigade said it was informed of the accident shortly before midnight on Tuesday. The cargo train had been travelling from Thessaloniki to Larissa.
The cause of the deadliest rail crash in Greece in decades yet remained unclear.
