​Over 90 people killed in train derailment in India

At least 96 people have been killed after a passenger train derailed in northern India.

More than 120 others were hurt after 14 of the train’s carriages left the track near Purwa, a village near the industrial city of Kanpur.

Volunteers and railway police have pulled out the bodies from the mangled coaches and were working to rescue passengers who were trapped in other cars that toppled over, said Daljeet Chaudhary, a director general of police.

Some coaches crumpled as they crashed into others, trapping hundreds of people inside.

Medical teams are providing first aid near the site while the more seriously injured have been moved to hospitals in Kanpur.
