At least six people were killed and more than 100 injured when two trains collided in central Pakistan early Thursday, officials said.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred near the city of Multan when a Karachi-bound passenger train rammed into a goods train which had stopped after running over a man crossing the railway track.<\/p>\n
“At least six people have been killed and scores others wounded,” local district administration official Nadir Chattha told reporters.<\/p>\n
Local state-run rescue service spokesman Abdul Jabbar told AFP the number of injured exceeded 100.<\/p>\n
Railway official Saima Bashir blamed the accident on the passenger train driver, saying he failed to heed a red signal that went up after the goods train had stopped.<\/p>\n
