Some mangled pieces of the derailed train fell onto a nearby track and were hit by another passenger train coming from the opposite direction, officials said.
At least 120 people were killed, more than 850 more were injured and many others are feared trapped after a grisly three-train collision late Friday in eastern India's Odisha state, local officials said.
Amitabh Sharma, executive director with the Indian Railways, told AFP that two passenger trains"had an active involvement in the accident," while"the third train, a goods train, which was parked at the site, also got in the accident." Anil Kumar Mohanty, a medical officer in Balasore, told AFP that"we have rushed doctors and medical staff to the accident site."
