Over a dozen dead after train crash in India

00:34

Over a dozen people were killed and many injured after a freight train smashed into the back of a stationary passenger train in India's West Bengal state on Monday.

Railway authorities said the accident may have been caused by a driver error. The collision, leaving one carriage almost vertical, occurred just over a year after a signaling error caused one of India's worst rail crashes in Odisha, killing over 275 people.
