At least four people were killed and 43 injured in a high-speed train crash in Ankara, said the governor of the capital on Thursday.

The train crashed into an overpass at a train station in the capital Ankara on Thursday morning, causing many casualties, CNN Turk and other broadcasters said.

Video footage showed emergency workers at the scene, working to rescue people from carriages trapped beneath the mangled metal wreckage of an overpass at the Marsandiz train station, to the west of Ankara.

The accident occurred around 6:30 am local time (0330 GMT) as the train was travelling between Ankara and the central Turkish province of Konya, the broadcaster said.
