A passenger train carrying an estimated 350 people has derailed in a tunnel in Taiwan, killing at least 36 and injuring dozens more.
 
The 408 Taroko Express came off the rails in a tunnel in the north of Hualien on Friday morning, April 2, causing several carriages to hit the wall of the tunnel, the government-run Central News Agency reported, citing the fire department.

The express train was travelling south towards Taitung on first day of a long weekend for the traditional Tomb Sweeping holiday, which sees extensive travel across the island.

CNA said a truck that was "not parked properly" was suspected of sliding into the path of the train. 
 
The fire department showed a picture of what appeared to be the truck's wreckage lying next to part of the derailed train.
