A train has derailed near the French town of Limoges, injuring 13 people, two of them seriously.

Some 450 passengers were travelling on the regional train which hit a trailer loaded with hay which had accidentally toppled onto the tracks.

On a weekend in which many French people were setting off on holiday, local rail services were disrupted by the accident. An investigation is now underway.
