This was the scene after a huge freight train collided with a truck in rural Australia.
Two train drivers died as the crash caused the locomotive to catch fire and derail.
Emergency services arrived to find the burning wreckage of several double-decker freight carriages.
The tragic incident occurred at a level crossing near the South Australia and New South Wales border.
The 75-year-old truck driver escaped with minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
The train was carrying avocados and was on its way to Broken Hill.

It's called been on the road for to long fever ?

Methed up truckies
Very sad!. The youngest train driver was one of my best mates son-in-law. Awfully sad on many fronts. I know the crossing and it beats me as to how or why the truckie couldn't see the the train let a loan not hearing or viewing the warning signals. I'm a grey nomad and it shits me to death to see people take risks to beat the trains and railway crossings. I offer my condolences to families and friends.

Hopefully the truck driver is jailed! WTF on a flat and clear road?
An obvious act of sabotage., I'd be checking the supermarkets in Broken Hill to see if millennials have been buying up all the bread for toasting.
As reported in the Guardian, the ABC and Indaily the Rail, Tram and Bus Union said the incident underscored the urgent need to improve rail safety in Australia. Perhaps it does but none of the reports attempted to find out what needs to be done. Is it infrastructure or education? Given that the inquiry has just started it's a bit premature of the RTBU to speculate on the cause.
According to another video on the train crash, one notable NR class locomotive, specifically NR 79 is damaged, and beyond repair. It is unknown what happened to the other NR class locomotive, since there were two NR class locomotives. But some say NR 41.
This is not a rare event in Australia, trucks not doing the right thing when it comes to rail crossings. Need to tighten up the trucking industry and weed out the wankers and cowboys and increase penalties with camera detection at major rail crossings. Two men lost their lives going about their job all because of some half wit not adhering to the road rules. Sad, very sad.😏
The truck driver has been arrested and charged of two counts of death by dangerous driving.
And has since been charged
Just avocados?
As a former train driver of 20 years, you cannot fully appreciate how terrifying it is for train drivers to constantly see the risks people take at level crossings. And what if it had been a passenger train? Would it have made any difference to the truck driver that he might have been putting more than two other lives at risk? You aren’t just risking your own life to save a few minutes. Do you understand how blindingly obvious it is to see and hear a train that close, on flat ground, travelling at anywhere from 80km/h to 120km/h, and still decide to ignore the danger signs? Unbelievably stupid and reckless behaviour.
Poor Avocados and other vegetables!
🥑 I hope they were picked up, cleaned and sent their way.
75yo driver……
Well, there's ya problem….
A truck is carried a line because of the train hit it, and the real ID, one of the fruit get in it, and the sour fruit been squeezed by a train wheel container car. That’s why a truck been hit by a train energy railed that’s why.
A truck been hit by a train the pieces went on the train, car, wheel and derailed, and there’s a smoke ahead
A train news alert
the truck driver was the cause of the accident by not adhering to the lights and bell warning that a train was approaching – he survives but the two train drivers lose their life because someone couldnt be bothered to follow safety rules
IF THE GOVERMENT PUT BOOM GATES IN THIS CRAP WOULD NOT HAPPEND, TIMES THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS , BUR THEY WONT PUT BOOM GATES IN , PUT YOUR HAND IN YOUR POCKET AND FIX THE PROB AND FIX THE ROADS IN AUSTRALIA .
They said the crossing is well signposted. It should not have happened!!
Interesting how the top containers have shifted forwards that not sposed to happen if the pins are in place.
Where is the footage from, not seen anything like this on the TV news.
FREE PALESTINE
Always a suspicious happen nowadays, and off course another cover-up investigation.😅😅😅
oh dear, very sad what happened here
