A train derailed on Friday after a dumper truck smashed into a footbridge in central Britain.

The train driver is being extricated from the wreckage, but passengers escaped unhurt.

The train, traveling from Nottingham to Norwich, was derailed when debris fell on the track at around 6 a.m. in Leicestershire, Sky news reported.

It is believed to have been carrying six passengers at the time.

Services between Nottingham and Sheffield to London have been affected.

An East Midlands Trains spokeswoman said: "The passengers are fine and being helped by staff but they will be transferred to another train as soon as possible."

The cause of the incident is being investigated by British Transport Police.
