Two people have been killed after a high-speed train derailed near the northern Italian city of Lodi.

Two people were killed and 31 injured in northern Italy on Thursday after a high-speed train derailment was initially blamed on a technical fault on the line.

"We are looking at the possibility of a human error [...] a human error that might be linked to the maintenance work" on the switch, Mr Chiaro added. Footage from the crash showed a heavily damaged engine lying sideways, on the other side of a depot facing the track, and pointing in the opposite direction from the rest of the train.
