Because of the sudden impact on the broken rail, the locomotive and a few cars decoupled and left cars derailed and overturned.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/5-coaches-of-seemanchal-express-derail-in-bihars-vaishali-several-injured-1987495|title=6 Dead After 11 Coaches Of Delhi-Bound Seemanchal Express Derail In Bihar|website=NDTV.com}}</ref><br />
