A signal error caused a train derailment in India that killed at least 275 people and injured hundreds more. One of the trains had been given a signal to run on an already-occupied line, which caused it to ram into a freight train carrying iron ore. After the collision, the passenger train fell onto another set of tracks, where it collided with another train carrying more than 2,000 people. Sabotage has not been ruled out.

A signal error has been blamed for a deadly train crash in India that killed at least 275 people and injured over 1,000. The high-speed Coromandel Express was given a signal to enter the main track line, but the signal was later taken off, causing the train to enter another line and crash into a parked goods train. The incoming Yesvantpur-Howrah Express then crashed into the overturned coaches. The derailment has raised new questions about the safety of India's railway network, which is still beset by deadly accidents. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised to help those affected and punish anyone found responsible.
