Tractor-trailer stuck on railway tracks, split in two by train collision

A tractor-trailer crossing railway tracks in Nghia Hanh commune became stuck at a barrier and was directly hit by an oncoming train, splitting the vehicle in two and injuring two people on the evening of 6/3.

At approximately 8:45 PM, a 45-year-old male driver was operating a tractor-trailer. He was traveling from the Cho Tre area, formerly Nghia Phuong commune, towards the former Cho Chua town. As the vehicle entered the railway crossing, a barrier descended, trapping the tractor-trailer on the tracks.

The driver then exited his vehicle, attempting to lift the barrier. After failing, he returned to the cabin to move the truck. However, at that moment, a train approached and collided head-on with the front of the vehicle, splitting the tractor unit and its trailer.
