A drone took this video of the aftermath of the scene of a train crash that happened yesterday morning in Stonehaven, about 49 kilometres to the South West of Aberdeen in Scotland.

Three people – the driver, the conductor and one passenger – died from the accident, while six others were taken to hospital.

Four of them wee later discharged.

The train had 12 people on board and was on its way to Glasgow from Abderdeen when flooding on the railway line following heavy rains in the area caused it to slip off the tracks and crash.
