Train collision in West Bengal

Atleast fifty people are feared dead in a train collision in West Bengal, near the Jharkhand border.

At around 2 am on Monday, the Uttar Banga Express coming in from New Cooch Bihar to Sealdah rammed a stationary Bhagalpur-Ranchi Vananchal Express at Sainthia station in Virbhum district, 191 kms from Howrah.

According to a local television channel, so great was the impact that the roof of a bogey had been detached in the collision and was thrown up on an overbridge.
