People can be heard screaming as smoke filled the underground tunnel station after the accident.

Another video appears to show the two trams on the platform, with both their front and rear ends smashed up.

René Cellier, director of the fire and rescue service, said at least 50 passengers were injured in the crash, French outlet Actu17 reports.

And five of the wounded are reportedly in a critical condition.

Around 100 people were on the two trams at the time.

One of the trams is believed to have switched tracks by mistake, leading to the collision with another tram that was stationary at the station.

One of the trams is reported to have derailed after the accident and an investigation into the cause is underway.

Cops confirmed that tram traffic through the main station has been interrupted “following a tram accident”.

Bas-Rhin Fire and Rescue Service said: “Tram accident at the Gare Centrale stop at Strasbourg. Numerous resources were mobilised.

“Avoid the areas of Place des Halles, Gare, Boulevard du Président Wilson and facilitate access for emergency services.”

Pierre Jakubowicz, a councillor in Strasbourg, posted: “Majo tram collision at Strasbourg station.

“Support and recognition for the emergency services mobilised and all my thoughts for the injured.”

Strasbourg-ville is the main railway station in the city of Strasbourg, Bas-Rhin, France.
