Tragic Pictures! 5 killed, Over 100 Injured As Train Falls After Bridge Collapses

In a tragic case, a passenger train derailed in Bangladesh on Monday, that claimed at least five people lives and injured more than 100.

There could be more casualties inside two carriages that fell into a canal, a police officer said.

According to Reuters report, the train was crossing a bridge on its way to the capital, Dhaka, from the eastern city of Sylhet when it went off the rails, police superintendent Mohammad Shahjalal said. He further added that there could be more bodies in the carriages that were submerged in the canal.

Twenty-one of the injured were taken to a hospital in Sylhet, the nearest city, in serious condition.

The derailment occurred near the Moulavi Bazar district, 210 km (130 miles) east of Dhaka. Railway accidents occur relatively frequently in Bangladesh, many of them at unsupervised crossings, Reuters further reported.
