More than 100 people were injured, some seriously, when two commuter trains crashed head on in Amsterdam Saturday.

Emergency crews wrapped injured passengers in protective coverings and lifted them into awaiting ambulances.

(SOUNDBITE) (English), MARION, WHOSE PARENTS WERE ON THE TRAIN, SAYING:

"My father was laying on the ground and he was feeling very sick. He was unconscious. So now I am taking him to the hospital to take care of him."

There were no immediate reports of fatalities although officials say dozens of people suffered major injuries.

The trains do not service Schiphol International Airport, but officials say the crash did disrupt airport train service.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.
