A train smashed into a crowded bus carrying a bridal party west of Dhaka early morning today, leaving at least 10 people dead and 57 injured, police said.
The Simanta Express train ploughed through the bus and then dragged it at least 500 metres (545 yards) along the tracks at Barobazar town near Bangladesh´s western border with India, police sources told the media.
They said the accident occurred at an unguarded railway crossing, allowing cars and buses to move freely across the track during the early hours of Friday.
The guard at the crossing has been arrested.
