128 killed in Pakistan train smash

GHOTKI (PAKISTAN): Three trains crashed in a deadly chain-reaction after a driver misread a signal in southern Pakistan early Wednesday, killing at least 128 persons and injuring hundreds in the country's worst crash in more than a decade, police and railway officials said.

The accident occurred at about 4 a.m. near Ghotki, some 600 km northeast of Karachi. The initial crash derailed at least three carriages onto another track where they were struck by the third train, causing further derailment, said Abdul Aziz, a senior controller of Pakistan Railways. In all, some 13 cars derailed. — AP
