At least 10 dead, 50 injured after train derailment in east Iran
A passenger train partially derailed in eastern Iran early Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and injuring 50 more, including some critically, authorities said.
Rescue teams with ambulances and helicopters had arrived in the remote area where communication is poor. At least 16 people suffered critical injuries, with some transferred to local hospitals, officials said. Iran’s worst train disaster came in 2004, when a runaway train loaded with gasoline, fertilizer, sulfur and cotton crashed near the historic city of Neyshabur, killing some 320 people, injuring 460 others and damaging five villages. Another train crash in 2016 killed dozens and injuries of scores of people.
