Emergency services are dealing with a train crash in Salisbury.

A major incident has been declared after two trains collided, leaving several people injured.

About 12 people are thought to have been injured and one of the drivers is believed to be trapped in their cab.

The crash happened when one train hit an object in a tunnel, and the second train then collided with it due to signalling problems.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: "At around 19:00 GMT this evening, the rear carriage of the 17:08 Great Western Railway service from Portsmouth Harbour to Bristol Temple Meads derailed after striking an object on its approach to Salisbury station.

"The derailment knocked out all of the signalling in the area.

"Subsequently, the 17:20 South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Honiton then collided with the Bristol train.

"There are reports of injuries and the emergency services are on site along with railway first responders."
