Three passenger trains collided early Wednesday in southern Pakistan derailing 13 cars and killing at least 123 people (some reports said over 300 have been killed) and injuring hundreds more, officials said.
Police officials said the death toll could be over 300, Pakistan's NNI news agency reported.

The accident occurred at about 4 am when a train sitting in a station near Ghotki, in southern Sindh province, was rear-ended by a second train, Abdul Aziz, a senior controller at Pakistan Railways, said.

Aziz said the collision caused several cars to derail and spill over onto another track, where they were struck by the third train, causing further derailment.
