Though the level crossing had been closed for a long time and replaced with a Railway Over Bridge, the truck driver bypassed the barrier and drove through the old crossing stopper, landing on the tracks. Despite the damage to the truck, the train’s engine remained unaffected.

Both the loco-pilot and the truck driver, along with his cleaner, were unharmed. Railway officials initiated repair work on the tracks, with plans to restore normalcy within 90 minutes. An investigation is ongoing, and legal action may be pursued against the truck driver for endangering public safety.
