Emergency crews continued working at the scene through the morning, according to the state’s civil defense agency, which shared updates on X.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact cause of the accident.
A video capturing the moment when the high-speed train rammed the bus, has surfaced on social media. The clip shows the bus moving slowly through heavy traffic as it crossed the tracks, when a high-speed train suddenly appeared and struck the bus midway, dragging it down the tracks.
The footage shows no visible crossing gates or warning signals at the location. Moments before the crash, other vehicles can be seen crossing the same tracks, highlighting a lack of safety infrastructure.
In another video taken shortly after the impact, the damaged bus is seen off to the side of the tracks. Its roof was torn off, and people were seen on the upper level as the train came to a grinding halt.
