With a double-decker passenger carriage lying in a meadow, and a second on its side next to the tracks, residents of Voorschoten in the Netherlands recount a train crash that has killed at least one and left dozens more injured, some seriously. "We heard a very loud bang" says Jaron Ooms, "it was really scary". Rail operators say the high-speed passenger train, which was travelling from Leiden to The Hague, collided with a maintenance crane on the tracks.
