Ten people were killed and 73 injured on Sunday when a train packed with weekend passengers derailed in northwest Turkey, the health ministry said.

卫生部说，星期天，一列周末乘客火车在土耳其西北部脱轨，10人死亡，73人受伤。

The train, with over 360 people on board, was travelling from the Edirne region on the Greek and Bulgarian borders to Istanbul's Halkali station when six of its carriages derailed in the Tekirdag region.

这列火车上有360多人，从希腊和保加利亚边界的Editrne地区前往伊斯坦布尔Halkali站。

Over 100 ambulances have been sent to the scene, state-run TRT Haber television said TRT Haber said, quoting Health Ministry Undersecretary Eyup Gumus.

Television pictures showed several train carriages laying on their sides, and shocked injured being taken away on stretchers as rescue workers picked through the wreckage.

电视画面显示，几列火车车厢在车身两侧，当救援人员从残骸中挑选时，受伤者被抬上担架，他们感到震惊。

"There are a large number of injured and we have fatalities,"  Tekirdag governor Mehmet Ceylan told the NTV channel.  "The accident happened because of adverse weather conditions,"  he added.

他说：“有很多人受伤，我们也有伤亡。”Tekirdag省长Mehmet Ceylan在NTV频道上说：“事故发生在恶劣的天气条件下。“

Reports said the surrounding area was muddy due to recent rains and the ground beneath the rails may have subsided away, causing the train to derail.

政府新闻机构Anadolu说，雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安总统已经接到事故通知，并对那些丧生的人表示哀悼。

Turkish authorities under Erdogan have over the last years sought to modernise Turkey's once ramshackle rail network, building several high speed inter-city lines.

Turkish passengers have in general preferred taking planes or the bus for inter-city travel but this is changing with the new high-speed lines.

The train involved in the accident appeared to be one of the slower passenger trains travelling on a single track railway.
