At least 48 people have been killed and hundred injured in a high speed train collision.


Anil Saxena, a spokesman for eastern railways said:"About 48 bodies have been pulled out and more casualties are expected."
The crash happened in the early hours of Monday morning when an express train slammed into a stationary train at Sainthia station in Bengal.
The force of the crash was so intense the roof of one carriage was forced up on to a bridge above the tracks. A huge crowd gathered as people climbed through the mangled wreckage searching for survivors.
India has one of the world's largest rail networks.
It is not known how the accident happened at this early stage.
