The 2023 Odisha train collision was a railway disaster near the Bahanaga Bazar station in the Balasore district of the Indian state of Odisha, involving three trains. The Coromandel Express, running at speed, was apparently diverted onto a loop line where it hit a stationary goods train, and some of its coaches derailed and fell onto the adjacent track, where they were struck by the Yesvantpur-Howrah Express. Nearly three hundred people died and hundreds were injured, making it one of the deadliest rail accidents in India's history. An inquiry pointed to an error in signalling work, and the Central Bureau of Investigation took up the case.
