Bodies of 17 recovered after Bangladesh train crash

The bodies of at least 17 people were recovered from a train crash outside the Bangladesh capital that may have occurred after one of the trains disregarded a red signal.
A fire official at Bhairab, in the central district of Kishoreganj, said the rescue operation was halted early in the morning a day after rescuers and residents together extracted passengers from the wreckage. He said 26 others were injured.
A senior fire official said, the crash occurred when two rear coaches of the Dhaka-bound Egarosindur Godhuli Express passenger train were hit by a cargo train heading to Chattogram.
Authorities were investigating the exact cause of the crash, but a senior Bangladesh Railway official indicated a red light may have been disregarded.
