BHUBANESWAR: Rescuers searched through the wreckage of smashed carriages Saturday after a train derailed in eastern India, leaving 16 people dead and almost 200 injured, rail officials said. The high-speed Coromandel Express, connecting the eastern metropolis of Kolkata and the southern city of Chennai, derailed Friday night while changing tracks at Jajpur, 100 kilometres (62 miles) from Orissa's state capital Bhubaneswar. "Its tragic. 16 passengers have died, while close to 200 got injured," Ajay Kumar Goel, general manager of Eastern Railways, told foreign news agency. Witnesses said 12 carriages had jumped the tracks while travelling at high speed.
If you are involved in a train accident, you should discuss the matter with a train accident attorney because train accidents take a very long time to resolve, as they are not involved with one or two people but numerous parties at one time.
