Australian train crash

BBC NEWS | World | Asia-Pacific | 'Several dead' in Sydney rail crash
From the photograph it looks like a 4 car EMU has derailed, with two coaches on their sides and one car (the leading one?) badly damaged, possibly from colliding with the overhead catenery masts.

I hope the death toll is closer to the lower estimate rather than the higher, but this looks like a bad one.
