14 killed in Karachi train collision (Second Lead)
Fourteen people, including women and children, were killed in a deadly train collision near the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi Tuesday, officials said.
“We have received 14 bodies, including three children and three women, and there are more than 45 injured,” doctor Seemi Jamali of Jinnah Hospital said.
The accident occurred when the Karachi-bound Allama Iqbal Express collided with a freight train in the Juma Goth area in the suburbs of Karachi.
Most of the casualties were from the passenger train.
Police and rescue workers said they were still working to retrieve bodies and survivors from the wreckage of the passenger train hours after the crash, Dawn newspaper reported on its website.
Police suspected three or four more bodies were still trapped inside one of the carriages.
An official said the driver of the passenger train ignored a traffic signal that resulted in the collision.
