Bodies of 17 recovered after Bangladesh train crash that may have been due to disregarded red light

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Officials say 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 said the rescue operation was halted early Tuesday after rescuers and residents together extracted passengers from the wreckage of the crash that occurred Monday in the central district of Kishoreganj. He said 26 others were injured. A fire official said two rear coaches of the Dhaka-bound express passenger train were hit by a cargo train heading to Chattogram. A Bangladesh Railway official said the cargo train probably had a red signal and appears to have overshot it. The official said the investigation will determine the cause.
