NEW DELHI: Three people died and around a dozen were injured when two express trains collided in thick fog in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh Saturday, a senior railway official said.
The accident happened near Tundla, 25 kilometers (16 miles) from the Taj Mahal town of Agra, when the driver of one of the trains apparently did not react to a signal, slamming his train into another on the same track.
“According to preliminary information, there are three deaths,” Devesh Mishra, divisional railway manager at Agra told foreign news agency. Dense fog in northern India over the past two weeks has caused chaos on the transport network, with delays or cancellations of trains and flights commonplace.
