Public TV station SRF quoted Vaud canton (state) police spokesman Pierre-Olivier Gaudard as saying that one person had yet to be recovered from the wreckage.
News website 20min.ch quoted Patricia Claivaz of the Swiss rail company CFF as saying the trapped man, a driver of one of the trains, had been located. It was unclear if he was alive.
Neither the police nor the rail company could immediately be reached for comment.
The crash happened near the station of Granges-pres-Marnand shortly before 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) on a regional line about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of the capital, Bern.
Photographs from the site showed the two regional trains locked together, partly lifted off the tracks by the force of the collision.
Earlier this month, 79 people were killed in a high-speed derailment in Spain.

‘Elizabeth’ claimed that her experience with Nazi prisoner transports occurred sometime after the middle of December 1943. She emphasized that this was very secret, telling us, “I think the whole thing was rather undercover.” And she added, “we knew they were going to Germany, we knew they were Jews, we knew about the concentration camps.” In our interview with her, she described harrowing scenes at Zurich’s main station, with details we set out to corroborate.

The Swiss were not as neutral as people were led to believe during WWII, particularly when it came to the Yidden. They turned back untold number of Yidden at the border, and they allowed nazi trains filled with thousands of prisoners to travel from Italy to Germany through Switzerland.
