At least three people were killed in Italy while over 100 others were left injured, 13 critically, after a commuter train derailed near Milan. 



According to authorities, the regional train, operated by Trenord, derailed at the Pioltello Limito Station, some 40 kilometres from Milan. 



At least two main cars from the middle of the train peeled off the rails but were still standing, albeit at an angle. 



It is not yet clear what caused the derailment and an investigation into the incident has been opened, with railway police interrogating the train driver.



Initial investigation points at either a collapse of the tracks or a problem with a track switch as the cause of the incident.
