Rescuers pull out a victim from the train wreckage after a three-train collision late Friday in eastern India's Odisha state that has killed at least 207 people and more than 850 were injured, many others are feared trapped, according to officials.

One survivor told local TV news reporters that he was sleeping when the accident happened, and woke to find himself trapped under around a dozen fellow passengers, before somehow crawling out of the carriage with only injuries to his neck and arm. India is no stranger to railway accidents and has seen several such incidents in the past, but the scale of the latest crash sparked shock.
