At least 5 killed as passengers fall off moving train in India

At least five people died after around 12 passengers allegedly fell off a moving train near Mumbra railway station in Thane, India, on Monday morning, according to a spokesperson for the Central Railway, Report informs via The Indian Express.

The passengers reportedly fell around 9.00 am while the Kasara-bound train, which started from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), was passing through the Diva-Mumbra area. The passengers hanging by the footboard of this train collided with the passengers hanging by another train passing on the opposite track towards CSMT causing the accident.

The Central Railway authorities have confirmed about another train passing towards the opposite side, resulting in the accident.

While authorities are trying to determine what exactly caused the accident, sources said it occurred because the train was overcrowded and passengers were standing on either side of its doors.
