02 June 2013 A passenger train hit and killed four elephants near the forests of Marghat in India's West Bengal state. According to a government minister, the driver just didn't see them at time. Hundreds of elephants have been killed by trains as they run through national parks and forests at extremely high speed. Activists have been asking for a law to lower the speed limit when going through elephant-crossing areas, but they have been so far unsuccessful. India's wild elephant population was recently estimated at about 26,000 http://danimalnews.com/news/2013/06/02/Train-Kills-4Elephants-India.html
