印度發生一起嚴重交通事故,一輛貨物列車撞上干城章嘉特快車(Kanchanjunga Express),造成至少9人死亡、60人受傷,驚悚畫面也曝光。
根據印媒《The New Indian Express》報導,17日上午9時左右,西孟加拉邦(West Bengal)大吉嶺地區,一輛貨物列車在距離新賈爾拜古里(New Jalpaiguri)蘭加帕尼車站(Rangapani Station)附近,撞上前方靜止的干城章嘉特快車,更直接鑽到特快車下方,導致後方4個車廂脫軌,更「連根翹起」卡在半空中,傾斜快要30度。
根據當地警消初步調查,這起事故似乎存在嚴重的「人為因素」,有消息人士指出,鐵路的號誌燈疑似從當天凌晨5時50分就開始出現故障,因有部門長官授權給貨運列車,允許其通過所有「紅色號誌」,貨物列車又疑似超速,才會停煞不及撞上特快車。

據了解,該特快車同時載運乘客和貨物,乘客車廂靠近前方,受波及的人數較少,但因撞擊猛烈還是有傷亡傳出,截至今日中午12時55分,這起事故已造成9人死亡、60人受傷,可怕的現場畫面也在網路上瘋傳。
目前救援工作已完成,傷者皆被送醫治療,而特快車未受影響的前段車廂也在短時間恢復行駛,將乘客送往目的地;對於這起重大事故,印度總理納倫德拉‧莫迪(Narendra Modi)表示哀悼,並祈禱傷者迅速康復「西孟加拉邦的鐵路事故令人悲痛,在此向失去親人的人們表示哀悼」。
