BRAZZAVILLE: At least 60 people died and hundreds were injured in a rail disaster in Congo-Brazzaville, officials said on Tuesday, as a survivor said carriages derailed when the train took a bend at speed. “At a bend that the driver went into at full speed, all six carriages where the passengers were derailed. We were thrown by the impact,” said survivor Lucien Koko, 37, speaking from hospital. “Many people remain trapped. I am talking because I have a wound on my forearm. Friends who were with me are gravely wounded, he added. A member of the crisis cell dealing with the accident said there were “60 bodies in the morgue” in the southern city of Pointe Noire.
