A high-speed TGV train derailed near the eastern French city of Strasbourg this afternoon, killing at least 10 people.

The crash happened during a test run in the town of Eckwersheim, on a new Paris-Strasbourg line.

The train was carrying 49 railway technicians when it derailed, caught fire, and plunged into a canal.

Eleven people suffered serious injuries.

Officials say the derailment was due to "excessive speed".
