train derails near Milan
At least three people have now been confirmed dead and 13 seriously injured when a packed regional train derailed Thursday near Milan in northern Italy, emergency services said.

An official with the regional emergency services has confirmed that around 100 other people sustained light injuries in the incident.

Cristina Corbetta said the incident happened at around 7am near the Milan suburb of Segrate. The regional train was enroute from the town of Cremona to the centre of Italy's economic capital.

Only the cars in the middle of the train derailed.

The head of Milan police said an investigation has been opened, with railway police interrogating the train driver and first evidence pointing at either a collapse of the tracks or a problem with a track switch.
