West Bengal Goods Trains Collide: At the Onda train stop in Bankura, two freight trains crashed into each other. The Kharagpur, Bankura, and Adra line has stopped running trains. Dibakar Majhi Safety Officer said that a study will show why the accident happened and how the two trains crashed.
From what I could see, the crash caused a number of wagons and the engine of a goods train to go off the tracks.
We are waiting for more information. Just a few months earlier, the Coromandel Express and two other trains had a terrible crash in Odisha’s Balasore that killed at least 275 people and hurt 1,000. This accident happened at the same time.
Earlier, on Monday, June 5, a train and a carrier vehicle crashed at a railroad crossing in Assam’s Golaghat district that wasn’t being watched by anyone. But the driver of the car, which had the license plate number AS-05AC-3588, was not hurt. The event happened in the Golaghat area near the Chungajan railway station. After what happened, people in the area held a protest to ask for a level crossing to be put in. (ANI)

What Happened With the Bankura Goods Trains?
A senior South Eastern Railway official said that on Sunday morning, a goods train crashed into another freight train that was stopped at Onda in the Bankura area of West Bengal. He said that no one was hurt in the accident, which stopped SER trains in the Adra area for more than four hours.
The accident, which happened around 4 a.m., caused eight wagons to fall off the tracks, the officer said. After emergency repairs were made, trains were able to move through the area again at 8:30 am, he said. The accident probably happened because the driver of the moving goods train missed the red “home” light at Onda, the official said. The train then went into the loop line, where the point was set, and hit the freight train that was stopped, he said.
