Shanghai authorities have partially reopened a metro line which was closed on Sunday morning after a train smashed into a fallen crane on the track.

The train was badly damaged but no injuries were reported.

Shanghai Metro said on social media that following emergency repairs, Line 11 services heading towards Disney Resort Station resumed around half a day after the crash.

Xinhua News Agency said a crane at a construction site snapped and fell onto the tracks, causing damage to rail network facilities as well as the train.
