At least 27 people were killed and 50 were injured when a passenger train derailed in India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh, officials said Sunday.
The accident took place late Saturday night when the engine and seven coaches of the Hirakand Express derailed near the Kuneru station in Vizianagaram district. The train had a total of 22 coaches.
"Many passengers were killed on the spot as the coaches got badly damaged in the derailment. The death toll is 27 as of now," regional railways spokesman JP Mishra said over phone from the scene.
He said 50 injured passengers were taken to two nearby hospitals. The death toll could rise as seven passengers were said to be in a serious condition.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau, over 25,000 people have been killed in railways accidents each year since 2010.
