Officials said at least 19 people have been killed - and the death toll is expected to rise. Shocking pictures showed dozens of people at the site - with some smashing windows to help passengers clamber out of the twisted carriages. "This is quite a big accident," railway minister Khawaja Saad Rafique told reporters. "There can be two reasons: first that it was a mechanical fault, or the fault was created - it might be a sabotage. We will investigate it." There were chaotic scenes at the Nawabshah Trauma Centre as ambulances and cars frantically ferried the injured into the building for treatment. One man leapt from the back of an ambulance clutching a child with his clothes soaked in blood, while a woman moaned in pain as she was carried in on a stretcher. At the accident site outside Nawabshah, dozens of cars, tractors, rickshaws and motorcycles could be seen parked up on a road that runs alongside the track. And people desperately waded through a canal separating the road from the railway line to help. Rafique said initial investigations showed the train was travelling at normal speed - and they are now probing what led to the derailment. Crashes and derailments are common on the country's railway system, which has nearly 4,600 miles of track and carries more than 80 million passengers a year. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY...
