BHUBANESWAR, India — At least 261 people have died in India's worst rail accident in over two decades, officials said on Saturday after a passenger train went off the tracks and hit another one in the east of the country. One train in Friday's accident also hit a freight train parked nearby in the district of Balasore in Odisha state, leaving a tangled mess of smashed rail cars and injuring 1,000. A possible signal error led to the tragedy, according to an initial government report seen by Reuters.
