A passenger train smashed into a vehicle on its tracks and partially derailed outside a rail tunnel in Taiwan on Friday. Police said at least 34 people were killed and dozens were injured.

Reports said a vehicle fell from a cliff and landed on the tracks, where a passenger train emerging from a tunnel smashed into it.

With much of the train still trapped in the tunnel, escaping passengers were forced to scale doors, windows and roofs to reach safety. Media reported 350 passengers were on board.
