OSLO, Norway, October 29, (AP): A tram derailed in central Oslo on Tuesday and crashed into an iPhone and computer store, Norwegian police said, but miraculously only four people were slightly injured in the accident.

There were about 20 people on the commuter train when it derailed from the tracks at the Storgata intersection, one of the main thoroughfares of the Norwegian capital. Photos from the scene show that most of the first tram car hit the store.

Among the injured was a tram driver. Police said everyone was treated at the scene, but no one was seriously injured. The cause of the accident was not immediately determined and police said they were waiting for members of the Norwegian Air Safety Investigation Authority to arrive. The four-story building was later evacuated to check for structural damage.
