Jalgaon: Pushpak Express Accident - Passengers Run Over By Train - Here's What Happened

In the Jalgaon train accident, reportedly 8 people were killed after they got hit by the Bengaluru Express. The train accident took place near the Paranda railway station at 4:19 pm on Wednesday.

This happened as the passengers from the Pushpak Express jumped onto the tracks in an attempt to escape, as they feared a potential fire after smoke emanated from the train's wheels. The train was going from Lucknow to Mumbai.

At the same time, the Bengaluru Express, which was traveling in the opposite direction, collided with the passengers who had jumped onto the tracks.

According to the chief spokesperson of the Central Railway, "Some passengers of the Pushpak Express stepped down, and were hit by the oncoming Karnataka Express."

UP CM Yogi Adityanath expressed his grief over the train accident and has ordered adequate medical treatment for those who are injured.
