People can also be heard screaming in fear as smoke filled the underground tunnel station following the collision.

Police have confirmed that tram traffic through Gare Centrale station has been interrupted "following a tram accident".

The crash is believed to have been caused by a switching error, when one of the trams was put onto a track where another vehicle was idle.

One of the trams is reported to have derailed after the accident.

An investigation is now under way, according to local outlets.

Bas-Rhin Fire and rescue service said on social media: "Tram accident at the Gare Centrale stop at Strasbourg. Numerous resources mobilised.

"Avoid the areas of Place des Halles, Gare, Boulevard du Président Wilson and facilitate access for emergency services.”

According to a travel alert, part of the station is now cordoned off, with four bus lines blocked from Gare Centrale.

One witness said: "I just saw what happened in Strasbourg. It's very serious, an accident between two trams, there would be five serious injuries and 30 minor injuries. We sincerely hope there is no death."

City councillor Pierre Jakubowicz said that his thoughts were with those who have been injured in the accident.

He said: "Major tram collision at Strasbourg station. Support and recognition for the emergency services mobilized and all my thoughts for the injured."
