A grim train collision unfolded in Andhra Pradesh's Vizianagaram district, claiming 13 lives and injuring around 50. The catastrophe occurred when the Palasa passenger train collided with the Rayagada passenger train, derailing three coaches near Kantakapalli, 40 km from Visakhapatnam. Although officials have not confirmed the cause, preliminary reports point to "human error" and signal overshooting by the Visakhapatnam-Rayagada train. Identifying the victims continues amidst this somber event, reminiscent of a similar fatal incident in June that claimed 295 lives in a triple train accident.
