Investigation opened into deadly Indian rail crash

One of the train services involved in a triple collision in India's deadliest railway disaster in decades was set to resume Wednesday, as officials revised the death toll up to 288. The service was one of three trains involved in the crash near Balasore in the eastern state of Odisha on last Friday.

The investigation into the cause of the crash has begun, with preliminary findings focusing on signal failure as the likely cause. At least 1,175 people were injured, many of them in critical condition and still being treated in hospital.
