At least four people were killed and dozens wounded when a train travelling from eastern India to the Himalayan foothills derailed and carriages went off the tracks. The Doon Express train crashed in the district of Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh state, 210 kilometers east of the state capital, Lucknow, on Thursday "Four passengers have died and a dozen others are injured, while a few more people are feared trapped in the coaches still lying on the tracks," the chief of the railway police in Uttar Pradesh, Gurcharan Singh told AFP. The accident came 10 days after 25 people died and 45 were injured when a sleeper train slammed into a stationary goods train in southern Indian Anantapur district, 400 kilometers south of Andhra Pradesh’s state capital of Hyderabad. Last year, at least 69 people were killed when a packed express train derailed at high speed in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
