Roughly a dozen other people have minor injuries, according to the Greater Copenhagen Fire Department.<\/p>\n<p>There were 38 people aboard the two trains, according to a spokesperson for the North Zealand police.<\/p>\n<p>Officials originally said four people were critically injured but revised that figure hours after the crash. It was not immediately clear whether the train&#8217;s drivers were among the victims.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators are looking into what caused the collision, which occurred near a level crossing. Photos from the scene show the front ends of the trains smashed, though both remained upright on the tracks. <\/p>\n<p>The mayor of the nearby town of Gribskov, Trine Egetved, in a post on Facebook, said some of the injured were flown to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>She said the crash occurred on a local rail line that&#8217;s used by many Gribskov residents, employees and schoolchildren. <\/p>\n<p>No other details were available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) \u2014 Two trains collided in Denmark early Thursday, leaving five people critically injured in what&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[18250,27,26,14410,1162,36213,4235,36550,1161],"class_list":{"0":"post-69517","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denmark","8":"tag-accidents","9":"tag-danmark","10":"tag-denmark","11":"tag-evacuations","12":"tag-general-news","13":"tag-i","14":"tag-law-enforcement","15":"tag-rail-accidents","16":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116477260259735799","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
