At least 233 people were killed and 900 injured after two passenger trains collided in the eastern Indian state of Odisha — the country’s deadliest rail accident in more than a decade, Reuters reported.
The death toll is expected to increase, the state chief secretary, Pradeep Jena, stated in a tweet. Hundreds of rescue workers gathered at the collision site to pull people still trapped underneath the mangled train cars.
At about 7 p.m. local time on Friday, the Howrah Superfast Express derailed and collided with the Coromandel Express, railway officials said.
