星期一早上，印度中部一列货运火车与停靠在车站里的一列客车相撞，造成至少21人死亡。在中央邦的巴达拉瓦斯车站，铁路工人正试图将困在受损变形的车厢中的乘客解救出来。至少有50人受伤。
官员说，这辆货运列车在大雨中与客车相撞时位于错误的轨道上。铁路当局试图确定为什么两辆火车会在同一个轨道上。印度负荷沉重的铁路系统是世界上规模最大的铁路系统之一，每天有9千辆列车装载1千8百万人次。印度每年发生大约300起铁路事故。
EA freight train crashed into a stationary passenger train in central India early Monday, killing at least 21 people. Railway workers pulled trapped passengers from mangled train compartments at the Badarwas station in Madya Pradesh state. At least 50 people were injured.
Officials say the freight train was on the wrong track when it collided with the passenger train during heavy rain. Railway authorities were trying to determine how both trains ended up on the same track. India's heavily used rail network is one of the world's largest, with some 9,000 passenger trains carrying 18 million people every day. There are about 300 Indian rail accidents every year.
