Train derailed in Norway

A train from Oslo to Stockholm derailed in Skotterud, Norway at about 17:40 today.
The train belongs to SJ but in Norway it has crew from Norweigan NSB.
The train consisted of one Rc6-engine and 5 cars. The engine is derailed but still standing, the two first cars behind it have derailed and is now laying in the forest.
31 people have been sent to hospital.

The first carriage is not upright, its laying on the side. But they are intact. 80's stock is well built.

Yes, they detached. But they are not fastened very much on rail vehicles.

The cars will be lifted soon:
