Seven people have been injured in Poland following a collision between a train and a lorry that had become stuck on a level crossing. The incident took place on Tuesday, in the town of Nowa Sucha, as reported by Polish state rail operator PKP.
Footage released by PKP Polish Railways shows the dramatic moments leading up to the crash. The video captures the lorry as it comes to a stop on the level crossing, with the barriers descending and warning lights flashing, signalling an approaching train. Moments before the collision, the lorry driver is seen exiting the vehicle and running away from the scene.
The video, which was filmed by a nearby camera, was verified through satellite imagery and file data to confirm the location and timing of the incident.
As a result of the crash, train services in the area were delayed, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded. PKP reported that the accident caused significant disruptions to the local rail network.
The injured individuals were treated at the scene, though none of their injuries are believed to be life-threatening. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident, including how the lorry became stuck on the tracks despite the clear warning signals.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding safety at level crossings, as the combination of warning signals and barriers failed to prevent the collision.
