Accidents

Sat Jan16 2010 At least three persons were killed and 14 others injured when the Kalindi Express train rammed into Kanpur-bound Shram Shakti Super Fast Express near Tundla amid dense fog this morning. The Bhiwani-Kanpur Central Kalindi Express hit the stationary train from rear near Nitawali-Tundla crossing at around 8.15 am, police and railway officials said. The guard bogie and the attached coach of Shram Shakti Super fast Express, which was traveling from Delhi to Kanpur, were damaged in the mishap. Railway officials in New Delhi said primarily, thick fog was believed to be the cause of the accident. "Three persons have been killed and 14 others injured," North-Central Railway spokesperson R D Vajpai said.

Earlier on 2 January, ten people were killed and 45 injured in three train accidents in Uttar Pradesh amid dense fog and near zero visibility conditions.
