MMTS輕軌列車的司機(jī)在事故中受傷嚴(yán)重。

The MMTS train driver, identified as Sekhar, suffered serious injuries after he was stuck in the mangled engine. It took more than four hours for the rescue staff to bring him out after cutting the cabin using gas cutters.

這名MMTS列車的司機(jī)名叫Sekhar，他被困在損毀的駕駛室中，傷勢(shì)嚴(yán)重。救援人員用氣體切割機(jī)切割了駕駛室，花了四個(gè)多小時(shí)才把他救出來。

親歷事故的一名輕軌列車乘客，向媒體描述了事故發(fā)生時(shí)的驚恐一幕。

Padmavathy, a woman passenger of the MMTS, said the commuters felt a big jolt as the train was nearing Kacheguda station. "Several passengers hit their heads and knees with the opposite seats resulting in bleeding," she said.

據(jù)初步調(diào)查顯示，事故原因可能是司機(jī)沒有注意到信號(hào)燈。

The Railway Department is yet to ascertain the details of how the accident took place. According to officials, the MMTS driver moved the train before the signal was given. The MMTS train, ideally, was supposed to take diversion onto another track, to pave way for the intercity train coming from the opposite direction.

鐵路部門尚未查明事故發(fā)生的細(xì)節(jié)。據(jù)官員稱，MMTS司機(jī)在信號(hào)發(fā)出前就開動(dòng)了火車。正常情況下，MMTS列車應(yīng)該駛向另一條軌道，為來自相反方向的城際列車讓路。

印度鐵路是世界上最繁忙的鐵路系統(tǒng)之一，也是世界上最危險(xiǎn)的鐵路之一。據(jù)印度政府工作報(bào)告的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，每年大約有1.5萬人死于火車事故。

India's vast railway system is the world's third largest but lacks modern signaling and communication systems.

印度龐大的鐵路系統(tǒng)位居世界第三，但卻缺乏現(xiàn)代化的信號(hào)和通信系統(tǒng)。

According to a government report in 2012, about 15,000 people are killed every year in train accidents. The worst occurred in 1981, when a train fell into the Baghmati River in northern India, killing nearly 800 people.

根據(jù)2012年的一份政府報(bào)告顯示，每年約有1.5萬人死于火車事故。最嚴(yán)重的一次發(fā)生在1981年，當(dāng)時(shí)一列火車墜入印度北部的巴格馬蒂河，造成近800人死亡。

而印度大部分的鐵路事故要?dú)w因于鐵路年久失修、設(shè)備陳舊、以及人為因素。（Most accidents are blamed on poor maintenance, outdated equipment and human error. -via The Dallas Morning News）

而網(wǎng)友也對(duì)印度鐵路也相當(dāng)不滿。

The locomotive drivers had applied the brakes. Why is the condition of railways in India so pathetic. There should have been some auto mechanism, where the brakes would apply automatically when they find a train 100m in the same route and track has not changed.

火車司機(jī)踩了剎車。為什么印度的鐵路狀況如此糟糕？應(yīng)該有一些自動(dòng)裝置，能發(fā)現(xiàn)當(dāng)一列火車在相同路線上行駛了100米，而且軌道沒有改變時(shí)，就會(huì)使剎車自動(dòng)啟動(dòng)。
