From ONE News:
One person has been injured after a train crashed on the Melling Line in Wellington this morning.
Ambulance Services say the person has minor injuries and has been taken to Hutt Hospital.

No trains are running on this line now and there will be bus replacements, KiwiRail says.
The train brought down powerlines as it hit a power pole. Police are in attendance.
