Hyderabad/New Delhi, Nov 11
Two slow-moving trains collided at the Kacheguda Railway station here on Monday, leaving 16 people injured, including a driver who was trapped in his badly mangled cabin for a couple of hours.
The Lingampalli-Falaknuma multi-modal transport system (MMTS) apparently overshot the signal and collided with the Kurnool-Secunderabad Hundry Intercity Express (17028) at 10.41 am, South Central Railway officials said.
The driver of the MMTS train, who sustained serious injuries, was initially trapped in his cabin, but was rescued after a couple of hours.
Commissioner Railway Safety, Southern Central Circle Secunderabad, Ram Kripal will conduct an inquiry into the incident.
The Railway Ministry has announced ex gratia of Rs 5,000 each to passengers with minor injuries and Rs 25,000 each to passengers having grievous injuries. — PTI
