Pakistan train crash kills at least 128

THREE trains crashed after a train driver misread a signal in southern Pakistan yesterday, killing at least 128 people and injuring hundreds more.

It was the country's worst crash in more than a decade.

The night-time accident jolted passengers awake to a horrifying smash that left metal, glass and body parts strewn across a remote railway station near Ghotki. Rescuers frantically cut through twisted metal to reach survivors, as ambulances and buses ferried the injured to nearby hospitals.
