At least three people were killed and 11 were injured when a passenger train collided with a stationary freight train in central Croatia, officials said Saturday.

The accident occurred at 9:30 pm (1930 GMT) Friday near the central town of Novska, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) southeast of Zagreb, an interior ministry statement said.

โ€œAccording to current information, three people were killed and 11 injuredโ€ who were hospitalised, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, who went to the scene, told reporters Saturday.

None of the injuries were life-threatening. The cause of the collision was not yet known.

The prime minister said the injured included foreign nationals, but did not provide further details.

A Red Cross official told the state-run HINA news agency eight foreign nationals were among the injured and added they were most likely migrants.

A hospital in the nearby town of Nova Gradiska said they had admitted a five-member Iranian family.
