Trace

The train followed at the crossing, where there is a crossing between a track and a roadway.

Several windows are broken

According to NTB, NSB press officer Åge-Christoffer Lundeby is among those on board the train. He informs them that there are about 100 passengers on board and that 3-4 routes are broken.

"There are personal injuries and I see that someone has cuts and that he should control his health." I spoke to the driver and he is fine. The police are there with the firefighters, he told NTB.

The course of Røros is closed indefinitely between Hanestad and Atna.

According to NTB, NSB is trying to find alternative transportation to the person on board the train.

"A wheel is gone, and the train can not be moved as it is right now, so the road will be closed for a moment," Lundeby told the news agency.

Emergency equipment is on site.
