A passenger train has slammed into a construction crane and derailed near The Hague, sending two carriages into a field next to the tracks. Dutch emergency services say one person died and 19 were hospitalized in the crash in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Television images showed people using makeshift bridges and ladders to cross a narrow drainage canal running alongside the rails to reach the stricken train in the darkness. Video footage from inside the train in the immediate aftermath of the crash shows chaotic scenes as passengers try to get out of the wreckage in darkness. Police opened an investigation to establish if any crime was committed. Another independent probe was opened into the cause of the crash.
