A passenger train carrying hundreds of people collided with an oncoming freight train in a fiery wreck in northern Greece early Wednesday, killing 26 and injuring at least 85, officials said.

Multiple cars derailed and at least three burst into flames after the collision near Tempe, a small town next to a valley where major highway and rail tunnels are located, some 380 kilometers (235 miles) north of Athens.

Hospital officials in the nearby city of Larissa said at least 25 people had serious injuries.

“We heard a big bang, (it was a) ten nightmarish seconds. We were turning over in the wagon until we fell on our sides, and until the commotion stopped,” 28-year-old passenger Stergios Minenis said. “The fire was immediate. As we were turning over, we were being burned, fire was right and left.”
