At least 36 people are believed to have died after a train crash in Greece.

A passenger train travelling between Athens and the city of Thessaloniki in the north of the country collided with a freight train just before midnight.

Firefighters say another 85 are injured.

There were about 350 people on board the late-night service from Athens to Greece's second-largest city Thessaloniki.

Police said several carriages came off the rails with some catching fire.

Some passengers were apparently thrown through windows due to the impact.

Rescue workers have spent the night searching through twisted wreckage for survivors.

The cause of the crash isn't known.
