More than 261 people have died while 900 others were injured following train accident in India.
The train accident happened Friday in eastern India and is said to be the country’s worst rail disaster in two decades.
A passenger train derailed and struck two other trains in the Balasore district of Odisha state, officials said.
Indian rail officials said on Saturday that 261 people had been killed in the crash, and the state’s chief secretary, Pradeep Jena, said that 900 more had been injured.
With rescue efforts still underway, the toll is likely to rise.
The crash occurred when several cars of a train derailed and hit a second one, the train’s operator, South Eastern Railway, said in a statement. Local officials said that a third train, carrying freight, was ultimately involved, but details of this were not yet clear
