Forty-seven people were injured, three seriously, in a train crash near the German city of Duesseldorf, the local fire department said on Tuesday.

A passenger train of the regional provider National Express drove into a freight train from DB Cargo about 1830 GMT in the town of Meerbusch.

A local fire brigade spokesman said the crash caused one of the carriages of the freight train to derail completely dragging the overhead wiring onto the ground with it.
