Final death toll in Andhra train accident put at 13

The Hindu  

The final death toll in the rear collision of 08532 Visakhapatnam-Palasa Passenger with 08504 Visakhapatnam-Rayagada Passenger trains between Kantakapalli and Alamanda in Vizianagaram district has been officially put at 13. The officials suspect that the loco pilot of the Visakhapatnam-Rayagada Passenger train overshot the signal and rammed into the Palasa passenger, which had reportedly slowed down, from the rear. “The confusion on the death toll arose due to dismembered body parts of the victims. The final death toll was put at 13,” Waltair Divisional Railway Manager Saurabh Prasad said.
