“It felt like someone threw me into the corridor”: in Russia, a truck crane hit a passenger train (2 photos + 3 videos)

According to the preliminary version, the car's brakes failed.





The collision took place on January 26, but details of the incident have only now emerged. On the Nizhnevartovsk-Megion stretch, a Kamaz truck crane flew into a train with passengers at full speed.

Everyone was scared. Our conductor was in the compartment, filling out paperwork when everything happened. She says it felt like someone threw me into the corridor. A man, I don’t know from which carriage, was said to have a hematoma on his head, but he ran away from the train with the words “I’m not going anywhere on this train.”

At the time of the accident, I was sitting, watching a TV series, through the window I saw a tap in a strange position, then the train shook violently, the phone jumped and I jumped with it. We stopped in Megion, our carriages began to be filled with Russian Railways employees, doctors, police, firefighters - everyone was walking around, filming something outside, and then we got out of the compartment and already saw what was happening to the carriage,” said one of the train passengers.
