At least 233 people were killed and 900 were injured when two passenger trains collided in India’s Odisha state, a government official said, making the rail accident the country’s deadliest in more than a decade. | Reuters

Early on Saturday morning, Reuters video footage showed police officials moving bodies covered in white cloths off the railway tracks.

The collision occurred at about 19:00 local time on Friday when the Howrah Superfast Express, running from Bangalore to Howrah, West Bengal, collided with the Coromandel Express, which runs from Kolkata to Chennai. Although Chief Secretary Jena and some media reports have suggested a freight train was also involved in the crash, railway authorities have yet to comment on that possibility.
