Rail crash sequence determined

Police have determined the sequence of events at Great Heck, near the Yorkshire town of Selby, that has so far resulted in 13 deaths and 56 injuries.

It has been determined that a trailer-carrying Land Rover plunged from a railway bridge on the M62 motorway, crashing into a northern-bound freight train carrying cement and coal.

Seconds later, a London-bound GNER train from Newcastle collided with the wreckage, injuring many of the 120 on board.

Over 100 firefighters are at the scene, with dozens more emergency staff present.

Hospitals in Leeds and Doncaster are on full alert at present, and are handling the dozens of casualties ferried from the scene.
