Train derailment in Hong Kong causes commuter chaos

Video provided to Reuters showed subway cars lying across tracks at the East Rail Line, after a train leaving Hung Hom - in the Kowloon area - derailed.

One person was injured, according to local media. It was not known what the cause of the incident was.

Nearby stations were overcrowded with a backlog of trains unable to move and trains which normally run at two minute intervals were delayed to run at 12 minute intervals.
