Seventeen people have reportedly been taken to hospital with injuries tonight after two trains collided inside the tunnel when one derailed with the driver rescued from the wreckage. Authorities have declared a major incident and set up a casualty centre with 50 firefighters rushing to Fisherton Tunnel, near Salisbury, as one of the trains is on its side. Network Rail on Sunda confirmed the crash unfolded when one of the trains derailed after hitting an object, and a second train then collided with it when signalling was affected.
