Beijing/UNI: A passenger train on Monday derailed in central China's Hunan Province due to landslide that was triggered due to heavy rains in the region, however, so far no death was reported.

Authorities said that the passenger train derailed in Yongxing County, the city of Chenzhou, at 11:40 a.m. when the train was running from the city of Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, to Guangzhou in south China's Guangdong Province.

Preliminary investigation showed that the derail was caused by a landslide as a result of continuous rains in the past few days. The train driver took emergency braking measures after detecting the landslide, but the train still hit it, causing fire in the power generation car and the derail of five carriages.

The injured passengers and crew members were sent to a local hospital. Rescue work and further investigation are underway, till the last reports came in.
