More than 25 people were killed and as many injured when Delhi-bound Goa Express rammed into stationary Mewar Express early today in the Uttar Pradesh state of India.

According to Railway officials, the dead include the guard of Mewar Express and two staff members of the pantry car of Goa Express.
