Dozens feared killed in Taiwan train accident



TAIPEI:  Dozens of people have been feared killed after a train with some 350 passengers on board met with an accident inside a tunnel in Taiwan.

Currently, rescuers are struggling to access four carriages inside the tunnel that are “badly damaged,” said Taiwan’s Central Emergency Operation center.

“More than 72 people are injured,” Reuters quoted the local transport ministry as saying.

A number of people still remain trapped inside the train, BBC reported.
