Two passenger trains derailed in India on Friday, killing at least 80 people and trapping hundreds of others inside more than a dozen damaged coaches, officials said. Local officials said more than 800 people were injured in the crash and taken to nearby hospitals. Nearly 500 police officers and 75 ambulances responded to the accident, according to Pradeep Jena, the top bureaucrat of the Odisha state. Amitabh Sharma, a railroad ministry spokesperson, said ten to 12 coaches of one train derailed, causing debris from some of the mangled coaches to fall onto a nearby track. The debris was then hit by another passenger train coming from the opposite direction. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
