At least 277 people died and over 800 were injured in a three-train collision in Balasore, Odisha on Friday evening, setting off a massive rescue and evacuation process. The train crash happened near the Bahanaga Baazar station in Balasore district, about 250 km south of Kolkata and 170 km north of Bhubaneswar, prompting the Railway Ministry to order a probe.
The driver of the Coromandel Express, which was involved in the three-train crash in Odisha’s Balasore district, has said that he moved forward on a loop line only after he received a green signal. It was on the loop line that a goods train was stationed. The railways said the driverwas "not over-speeding" nor he jumped any signal, virtually clearing his role in the Odisha train accident which claimed the lives of 275 people and wounded as many as 1,175.
