A crash involving a high-speed train at a station in the Turkish capital Ankara has killed at least four people and injured more than 40, local media say.

Some reports, citing local officials, suggested that the high-speed train had collided with another train.

The accident occurred at about 06:30 local time (03:30 GMT).

The train was reportedly beginning a journey from the station in Ankara to the city of Konya in western Turkey.
