Indian train crash kills 8


A high speed train has jumped the tracks in western India killing eight people.

The Press Trust of India reports that eleven cars of the Kurla-Howrah express left the tracks near Jalgaon in Maharashtra early this morning Thursday.

More than forty people were reported injured.

It's the latest in a series of train crashes, last week at least two hundred and eleven people died in a collision near Khanna in Punjab.
