当局说，两列火车在印度东部相撞，造成至少61人丧生，大约120人受伤。
有关官员说，这次事故发生在星期一早上，在距离西孟加拉邦首府加尔各答以北大约200公里的波巴木地区，一辆超速行驶的直达快车撞上停在赛恩提亚火车站的一辆火车。
撞击的力量如此之大，以至于一节车厢的车顶腾空飞起，落在轨道上方的一个天桥上。
救援人员从扭曲火车的车厢里把遇难者拉出来，起重设备在随后帮助清理火车轨道。
当局正在调查高速列车为何同这辆停在站上的列车使用同一轨道。
印度铁道部长班纳吉拒绝排除蓄意破坏的可能性，但其他官员说，没有违规的相关证据。
Authorities say at least 61 people have been killed and some 120 others injured during a train collision in eastern India.
Officials say the crash occurred early Monday, when a speeding express train slammed into a stationary train at Sainthia station in Birbhum district, about 200 kilometers north of West Bengal’s state capital, Kolkata.
The force of the crash was so strong that the roof of one car flew into the air and landed on an overpass above the tracks.
Rescue workers pulled victims from the mangled wreckage, and heavy lifting equipment was later brought in help clear the tracks.
Authorities are investigating how the high-speed train came to be on the same track as the stationary train.
Indian Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee refused to rule out the possibility of sabotage, but other officials said there was no evidence of foul play.
