A railway employee was injured when two suburban locals collided sideways during a shunting exercise inside a car shed in Mahalaxmi here, an official said on Friday.

The Western Railway has ordered a probe into the incident that occurred during the shunting process, the WR's chief public relations officer Sumit Thakur said.
