Sunday’s train crash in northern India is known to have left at least around 120 people dead and more than 150 injured.<br /><br /> The numbers were expected to rise as rescuers looked for survivors amid the wreckage and police said people were still missing. <br /><br /> Fourteen carriages came off the rails in Uttah Pradesh, of which three were completely crushed.<br /><br /> “There are many people here. One woman is alive, one child and an old man, the rest are being looked for,” said one rescue worker.<br /><br /> The cause of the derailment isn’t known. Authorities said they were checking the condition of the tracks but it was too early to say.<br /><br /> The long-distance train from Patna to Indore crashed in the early hours of the morning, at a time when many of an estimated 500 passengers were asleep.<br /><br /> “Suddenly there was a loud noise. My head hit something inside. I saw that many coaches had overturned and people were crying and shouting. I got up and ran outside,” said one woman who survived.<br /><br /> This may turn out to be India’s worst rail disaster this century.<br /><br /> The country has the world’s fourth largest rail network but much of it is dilapidated and the safety record is poor.<br /><br /> The government has pledged to modernise the system but little progress has been made.<br />
