Police confirm 13 deaths at Selby

British Transport Police have accounted for 83 people involved in the Yorkshire train crash that so far has claimed over a dozen lives.

Police say 13 people have been confirmed dead - that figure is feared to be at least 15 - with 70 people accounted for as being injured, in hospital or walking wounded.

It is feared up to 150 people may have been injured.

All nine carriages of the 04:45 GNER Newcastle-King's Cross intercity train - the main service from the North-East to London - derailed at Great Heck near Selby after a Land Rover and trailer skidded off a railway bridge on the M62 motorway and onto the track.

A goods train was also involved in the collision.
