Previously, the death toll reported by local Indian media had exceeded 300.
Indian officials have revealed that the collision of three trains appears to be a "human error" or due to "the train being on the wrong track"
According to a report by the Hindustan Times on June 3rd, a preliminary report from the signal control room of the Indian Railways suggests that the derailment and collision of trains in the Balasol region of the state of Odisha may have been caused by human error, as the train went on the wrong track a few minutes before the tragedy occurred. This accident has caused nearly 288 deaths and nearly a thousand injuries.
According to a surveillance video from the signal control room of the Indian railway department, at around 6:55 pm on Friday, the Koromandel express train bound for Chennai chose the loop line where the freight train stopped instead of the main line after passing through Bahanaja railway station.
The video shows four railway tracks, including two main lines and two loop lines.
An official from the Indian Ministry of Railways stated that the Koromandel express train, which travels at a speed of approximately 127 kilometers per hour, collided with a freight train after derailment. A few minutes after the accident, the Ashwanagal express train coming from the opposite side collided with the Koromandel express train again.
"How and why the accident occurred will be discovered in a detailed investigation ordered by the railway bureau. However, on the surface, it seems to be a human error," said the official, who declined to be named.
The BBC reported that "this is the most serious train collision in India this century." Indian officials said they expect the death toll to further increase.
According to Indian media reports, the rescue work for the train collision accident has been completed and is currently resuming work.
