At least 14 people were killed and about 30 injured on Tuesday when a passenger train collided with a stationary goods train in southern India, a local railway official told AFP.
  
The passenger train was travelling to Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka state, when it rammed into the goods train at Penneconda station in the neighbouring state of Andhra Pradesh. "At least 14 people, including one child and two women, died when three coaches of Hampi Express overturned following a collision with a goods train," G.K. Jalan, the railways' regional public relations officer, told AFP. He added that 30 people had been injured.
  
The accident occurred before dawn, according to Chandralekha Mukherjee, executive director for information at the railways ministry in New Delhi. "It appears that the driver of the passenger train overshot a signal, and hit the goods train, but we are awaiting the results of an inquiry," Mukherjee told AFP.
  
Rescue workers and medical officials worked through the early hours to extricate all those inside the overturned carriages.
