30 killed in Train Collision in southern Pakistan, over 50 injured.
MULTAN, Pakistan - Two high-speed trains collided in southern Pakistan on Monday morning and at least 25 passengers were killed, police and rescue workers said.
The Millat Express crashed and the Sir Syed Express train crashed shortly afterwards, said Usman Abdullah, a police officer in the Ghotki district of Sindh province, where the accident took place.
He said villagers, rescuers and police were transporting the dead and injured passengers to nearby hospitals.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blaze and the subsequent collision.
Train accidents are common in Pakistan, where successive governments have paid little attention to the development of well-maintained signals and aging systems.
