Freight train collision derails carriages and forces road closures in Adelaide, Australia

Train crash in Australia

Police have been forced to close roads in Adelaide this morning after two freight trains collided in Adelaide’s inner south-west causing the derailment of several carriages.
 
Two level crossings are now blocked south of the scene at Keswick as authorities work to clear the track.
 
It is understood one freight train collided with the rear of another which caused a train passing through the crossings while the boom gates were down to become blocked.
 
South Australian police report delays could last hours while the track is cleared and motorists are advised to avoid the area.
