Six people were killed and another was seriously injured when a passenger train collided with a minibus at a railway crossing in Russia’s Jewish Autonomous Region on 24 October, local authorities said.
The accident occurred near the settlement of Nikolayevka, when the minibus entered a railway crossing despite a red signal, according to the regional government.
The vehicle was struck by a passenger train travelling from Khabarovsk to Blagoveshchensk. The train driver applied the emergency brakes but could not prevent the collision.
All seven people in the minibus were foreign nationals, regional authorities said. Six died at the scene, while the seventh was taken to hospital in critical condition. Doctors were fighting to save the injured passenger, according to the regional government.
No passengers or crew members aboard the train were injured, railway authorities said.
The Far Eastern Railway reported that the train did not derail and resumed its journey 37 minutes after the collision.
Regional prosecutors are investigating the circumstances of the accident. Authorities have not specified the nationalities of those travelling in the minibus.
