Eight elephants were killed when a Delhi-bound train collided with a herd in northeast India early on Saturday, according to the district police chief. ⁣
⁣
The incident in the Hojai district of Assam state occurred at a location that is not a designated elephant corridor, Northeast Frontier Railway said in a statement.⁣
⁣
The locomotive pilot applied the emergency brakes upon seeing the herd, but the elephants rushed toward the train. ⁣
⁣
The collision at 2:17 a.m. local time caused the locomotive and five coaches of the train to derail, but no people were injured.⁣
⁣
"Trains scheduled to pass through that section are being diverted through another line. Restoration works are on," the railway said.⁣
