At least 40 die in India train crash

At least 40 people have died after a passenger train slammed into a cargo train which was parked.

Although the train conductor activated the brakes in an attempt to reduce the train's speed, it still violently crushed into the freight train, reducing one car, where all the 40 passengers were, into a heap of contorted metal. Other 6 cars derailed.

Most of the victims were poor farm workers who were on their way home from the neighboring state of Haryana.

Authorities are now searching for the station master who took off after the accident happened.
