印度東部奧里薩邦（Odisha）城市克塔克（Cuttack）上午7時左右，當地Lokmanya Tilak Express特快車撞上貨運列車，導致8節車廂脫軌，造成至少20人受傷。目前已知事發當下的天氣狀況不佳，濃霧導致能見度大幅降低，受傷乘客則被緊急送醫接受治療，外傳全數傷者均已脫離生命危險。

綜合印度媒體NDTV等報導，該起脫軌事件發生在Salagaon火車站與Nergundi火車站之間，事發後，鐵路事故醫療救援車隨即趕抵現場處理，已知至少4人傷勢嚴重。當地官員證實，現階段並未傳出人員死亡消息，但受傷人數可能進一步攀升。

據了解，該列特快車上約莫有400名至450名乘客，當局事後利用巴士疏散人潮至其他地方。
