difficult to tell but:: Is this an overturn on a curve maybe due to overspeed ?

News reports state it happend on tangent track.
A BBC report has some more pictures. And if you check Google Earth you can see that it has just encountered two facing point turnouts, both apparently set for the diverging leg, as it left the single track main line and entered the station area. Over speed seems one possibility but that is mere speculation in the absence of any hard data.
