Story out of Croydon, England:
Five people have died after a tram derailed in Croydon, south London, British Transport Police have said.
The driver of the tram has been arrested, and more than 50 people were injured in the incident.
Emergency services were working at the scene near the Sandilands tram stop, in Addiscombe Road, to free people trapped in the two-carriage vehicle.
Transport for London (TfL) said the incident happened inside a tunnel, and images uploaded to social media showed emergency services working at the scene of what police described as a “serious incident."
Witnesses reported hearing a bang at the scene, where police were called at 6.13am. The tram appeared to be on its side next to an underpass, and there was a large police cordon in the area with scores of emergency vehicles nearby. The tram seemed to have derailed at a point at which the track diverges. Cont. (Video)
