Initially it was assumed that the driver of "Karachi Express" missed a signal, but subsequent investigations found that the signalling system was faulty.  An emergency brake application could not prevent the collision, a situation aggravated by insufficient braking power, because two coaches had to be isolated from the train braking system.  The collision caused several of the cars to derail.  The derailed cars were subsequently hit by a third train ("Tezgam"), which resulted in a total of seventeen wrecked train cars, which carried over 3000 passengers.
