TOKYO (CNN) -- A commuter train in downtown Tokyo derailed Wednesday morning, killing two people and injuring at least 18 others, the Tokyo Metropolitan Fire Department has confirmed.
The cause was not immediately known, police said.

The derailment occurred at 9:13 a.m. Wednesday (7:13 p.m. ET Tuesday) at Nakameguro station in downtown Tokyo. The train was outbound from central Tokyo when it derailed, hitting an inbound train.
