Runaway Train in India Safely Stopped After 70km Journey Without Driver

An investigation is underway to determine how a freight train traveled 70km without a driver, narrowly avoiding a major accident.

A freight train in India traveled more than 70km without a driver from Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir to Hoshiarpur district in Punjab.
The train, carrying chip stones, was brought to a halt using wooden blocks placed on the tracks, preventing any injuries.
Officials closed railway crossings along the train's path as a precaution, and videos of the speeding train went viral on social media.
The incident occurred early Sunday morning, prompting Indian Railways to order an investigation into the cause.
This is the latest incident to highlight the challenges facing India's extensive but aging rail network.
