Derailment in sweden

The train services in Sala in Sweden has been cancelled after a passenger train (loco+coaches) derailed at about 9.00 today.
Some sources say that the train should have stopped in Sala but for some reason skidded past the platform and through the buffer stop at a safety track. Other sources say that there was a tree laying on the tracks, altough I believe that comes from people that have seen the tree it crashed through after derailing.
After going through the buffer stopp the train crashed through some relay boxes and a gate at a road crossing.
No passengers we're injured.
