Rescue workers have spent the night searching through the wreckage after the passenger train between Athens and Thessaloniki collided with freight train early on Wednesday, killing multiple people and injuring scores of others.
Fire Service Officials said 36 people were killed and at least 85 were hurt after multiple train carriages derailed and at least three caught on fire after the crash just before midnight near Tempe, some 235 miles north of Athens.
