At least one person has died and several others have been injured after a train collided with a slurry tanker and derailed in southern Denmark, officials said.

Police said the crash happened between the towns of Tinglev and Kliplev in southern Jutland, and that officers were at the site.

The country’s rail operator DSB said that it had shut down services between Tinglev and Sønderborg near the German border.
