A high-speed TGV train has derailed near the French city of Strasbourg, killing five people and injuring seven, local media report.
They say the crash happened during a test run in the town of Eckwersheim in the east of the country. Reports say technicians were on board the train.
The injured have been taken to hospital by helicopters.
The AFP news agency is quoting sources as saying the derailment happened due to "excessive speed".

It probably was an accident but any half-organised terrorist group will be claiming responsibility anyway.
Exactly one week ago today I was on the one from Avignon to Paris
. Been on one several times before, but wouldn't want to be on one that derailed - they are bl oody fast. Not at all surprised their are heavy casualties - proportionate to the number of passengers, this being a test run apparently.
