00:00
A passenger train collided with a stationary freight train in the Thiruvalluvar region
00:07
of Tamil Nadu state in India, causing a total of 12 coaches to derail on Friday night.
00:14
The train crew and passengers said they felt a sudden jerk as the train approached the
00:19
Kavarapettai station at around 8.30pm.
00:24
This caused the train to enter a loop line instead of the main line.
00:28
At least 19 passengers were injured, with four of them suffering severe injuries following
00:33
the derailment.
00:34
So this was supposed to pass via the main line, run through without stopping.
00:38
There is no stoppage here.
00:40
And signals were also given for the main line.
00:42
It was unusual that despite having the signals for the main line, the train entered the loop
00:48
line where the goods train was standing.
00:51
So it hit the goods train from behind and because of which this engine has derailed
00:56
but fortunately both our loco-pilot and assistant loco-pilot are hale and hearty.
01:02
A special train was sent to the affected stretch to ferry the stranded passengers and 18 scheduled
01:09
trains were cancelled on Saturday.
01:11
The railway authorities have ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident.
