BREAKING:Many casualties feared in Paris train derailment

Train derails in Bretigny-sur-Orge suburb of French capital in accident that caused "many casualties", authorities say.

An intercity train headed for the central French city of Limoges has derailed south of Paris, the national rail company SNCF said.

Le Parisien newspaper said up to eight people were dead but the interior ministry official said it could not confirm whether there were any deaths.

A photo on the website of Le Parisien daily, taken from Twitter, showed a train carriage completely off its rails and smashed against a platform at the station of Bretigny-sur-Orge, located about 26km south of Paris.

The Paris prefect's office said a "red alert" plan had been activated, but no further details were immediately available.
