Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has visited the site of a head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train in Larissa.
He was shown the debris and destroyed train carriage from the country’s deadliest rail crash in living memory by emergency workers, with at least 36 dead as a result of the crash.
Rescuers continued to scour through the mangled mass of steel in the morning, and cranes lifted derailed passenger carriages, their windows blown out.
One carriage stood on its side at almost 90 degrees from the rest of the wrecked train, with others tilting precariously.
Dozens were injured in the crash and the fire that followed. Officials said the death toll was expected to rise further.
