Train derails in India's West Bengal State; 9 dead
A railroad official says nine people have died and 45 were injured when a train derailed in India’s West Bengal state.
Rescuers found four bodies overnight as they cleared the 12 mangled coaches of a train that derailed in India's West Bengal state, raising the death toll to nine, a railroad official said Friday.
At least 45 people were injured in the accident on Thursday as the coaches went off the rails and three capsized, said Rajiv Jain, a railroad ministry spokesman.
The rescue work was completed and the track was being cleared to restore train services in the region, Jain said.
Images from the scene after the accident showed passengers stuck in twisted metal and debris as rescuers tried to pull them out.
The train was on its way to Gauhati in Assam state from Bikaner, a city in Rajasthan state, when the accident occurred in Jalpaiguri district.
