A train in India split in two mid-journey on Monday causing passenger delays and panic. Video footage showed stranded passengers on the tracks after a train en route to New Delhi from Darbhanga derailed in Samastipur, Bihar, separating the coaches from the engine.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the crash was likely caused by a mechanical failure or a fault in the coupling system, leading to the detachment. Emergency response teams arrived quickly to address the issue.
While no casualties or injuries were reported, the unexpected split caused some distress for both passengers and railway personnel. A more comprehensive inquiry will be conducted to determine the exact cause of the split.
