A Turkish government official says at least 128 people have been killed after a high-speed train derailed.
Health Ministry Undersecretary Nejdet Unuvar said that another 57 people were injured in the derailment.
"The scene is one of carnage... There are people lying all over the place," journalist Oguz Dizer was quoted as telling NTV television.
A number of carriages were overturned, but it was not immediately clear what caused the train to leave the tracks.
CNN Turk TV quoted officials as saying one of the rear carriages may have derailed first as the train made its way from the biggest city, Istanbul to the capital, Ankara.
Towns and villages in the province of Sakarya where the crash happened have been contributing medical and ambulance facilities to help the injured.
