Nashik, July 19
At least three persons were killed and 25 others were injured in a collision between a local train and Vidarbha Express near Khardi station near here on the Mumbai-Kasara route tonight.

The mishap took place after 11 bogeys of an EMU train from Kasara going to Kalyan derailed possibly due to landslide, Railway Board Chairman Vinay Mittal said in New Delhi.

The derailed EMU coaches blocked the adjacent track on which the Vidarbha Express, going from Mumbai to Gondia, came from the opposite direction and collided with EMU bogeys at around 9.30 pm, he said. — PTI
