A rail accident between two trains killed at least 288 people and injured more than 900 in India's Odisha state on Friday (June 2). Over 3,400 passengers were traveling on the carriages at the time of the incident.

This footage, which was filmed on June 4, shows workers, emergency services, and members of the public on the train tracks after the crash. The video also features images of victims of the disaster lying on hospital beds.

KS Anand, chief public relations officer of the South Eastern Railway, said that the accident was caused by a signal failure.

Rail services are expected to resume on Wednesday (June 7).

A collision between two passenger trains and goods trains in the eastern Indian state of Odisha's Balasore has resulted in the tragic deaths of at least 275 individuals, with over 900 others sustaining injuries. According to railway officials, the Coromandel Express, which operates between Kolkata and Chennai, crashed into the Howrah Superfast Express.

The Railway Minister said that restoration had been taken up simultaneously along with the rescue operation which began immediately after the accident, telling journalists that normal services were expected to resume on Wednesday.

“signaling interference” has been identified as the main cause of the accident, which claimed 275 lives and left more than 1,000 injured, adding that the possibility of sabotage has not been ruled out. The crash saw one train ram so hard into the other that carriages were lifted high into the air, twisting and then smashing off the tracks. Another carriage had been tossed entirely onto its roof, crushing the passenger section. Over 3,400 passengers were traveling in two trains, according to railway officials.
