Three people were killed and at least

Thirteen coaches of the Vasco Da Gama-Patna Express derailed at 4.18 am after it left the Manikpur station, less than 12 hours after a bolero collided with a passenger train near Lucknow killing four and injuring two.
Chitrakoot Superintendent of Police Pratap Gopendra Singh said a father and his son from Bettiah district of Bihar died on the spot while the third person died at a hospital.
Relief operations are underway, North Central Railway PRO Amit Malviya said.
Anil Saxena, Railway spokesperson, said medical relief is being provided to the injured. "Patients have been admitted to Manikpur and Chitrakoot Hospital and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has been closely monitoring the situation. He had instructed the railway board chairman to rush to the spot," he said.
Railway officials have reached the spot and investigating the reasons that led to the accident. According to Additional Director General (Law and Order), Anand Kumar, fractured railway track could have led to the derailment. The incident has disrupted the movement of trains on the Patna-Allahabad route.
