A busy passenger train carrying 490 people has derailed in a tunnel in eastern Taiwan, killing at least 41 and injuring dozens more, authorities said, as rescue efforts to free those trapped continue.

The eight car train, traveling to Taitung, came off the rails in a tunnel just north of Hualien Friday morning, causing several carriages to hit the wall of the tunnel, the government-run Central News Agency reported, citing the fire department. The train driver is among the 41 dead, according to Taiwan's Premier, Su Tseng-chang. Dozens are being treated for injures, some severe, while an unknown number of people are still stuck in carriages that were badly damaged in the accident.
