Nearly 50 injured in Connecticut commuter train collision

Two trains collided at a busy commuter line in Connecticut, about an hour outside of New York City.

One train was reported to have been involved in a "major derailment" and struck another oncoming train, resulting in nearly 50 injuries, four in a serious state, TASS reports.

There were no fatalities reported at this time.

Emergency workers are on the scene of Friday's derailment.

The NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority reported major delays in service to New Haven.

The railroad says the accident involved a New York-bound train leaving New Haven, which derailed and hit a westbound train near Fairfield, Connecticut.

Some cars on the second train also derailed.
