Driver error may have led to Monday's train crash

Driver error may have led to Monday's train crash in eastern India's West Bengal state which left 63 people dead, preliminary investigations have found.

The express had entered the station in Sainthia town at full speed, even though it had a scheduled stop there, railway officials say.
The driver did not brake or heed numerous stop messages, before the express hit a stationary train.
