Dyfed-Powys Police has been in attendance at a rail collision this evening, where sadly one person has died.
The force was called to the collision between two trains, which occurred near Llanbrynmair in Powys, at just before 7.30pm on Monday, October 21.
British Transport Police, Welsh Ambulance Service, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, HM Coastguard and agencies from the rail industry were also in attendance.
Sadly, we can confirm a man has died following the collision. His next of kin have been informed and his family are being supported by specialist officers.
A further 15 people have been taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life threatening or life changing.
All other passengers have now been evacuated from both trains.
Our thoughts are with the people and families involved in this incident.
While we no longer have a presence at the scene, we will continue to work with our emergency services colleagues and transport agencies while enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
