A passenger train derailed in central China's Hunan Province on Monday, killing one, local authorities said.

The deceased was a railway police officer, who died after on-site rescue.

A total of 122 passengers were injured, four critically. Five more railway staff members were slightly wounded. All the injured were rushed to hospital for treatment.

The accident happened in Yongxing County, Chenzhou City, at 11:40 when the train was running from the city of Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, to Guangzhou in south China's Guangdong Province, said the China Railway Guangzhou Group Co., Ltd.

Preliminary investigation showed that the derail was caused by a landslide as a result of continuous rains in the past few days. The train driver took emergency braking measures after detecting the landslide, but the train still hit it, causing fire in the power generation car and the derail of five carriages.

Rescue work and further investigation are underway.

There were 654 passengers and 37 staff members aboard when the tragedy happened.
