Foreign Media: A train collided with seven wild Asian elephants, including a calf, in the Hojai area of Assam, northeastern India. The train driver noticed dozens of elephants crossing the tracks and applied emergency brakes, but could not prevent the tragedy.
The accident caused five carriages to derail, but no passengers or staff were injured. The elephants that were killed were examined by veterinarians and then buried. Assam is one of the regions in India with the largest number of elephants, with about 6,000 of them. The location where this incident occurred is not an officially designated elephant corridor.
