The driver, including more than half a dozen passengers travelling in the vehicle, are safe. AK Sinha, ECR Traffic Inspector, confirmed the hit by the passenger train saying, “Neither the train got derailed nor anyone got killed.”
He said the the vehicle’s driver should not have tried to cross the track when he knew about the approaching train. The site of hit has no manned or unmanned crossing at all but a flattened piece where bikes/four wheelers manage to negotiate the railway lines for crossing it.The RPF has lodged a case in this regard. The vehicle number was intact which will help the RPF Daltonganj to reach the owner of the vehicle.
Sources informed that the vehicle was traying to cross the Dn railway lines and it got stuck up. Its occupants ran out of the vehicle as they had seen the light and heard the sound of the approaching passenger train. The incident took place under the CIC section of the Dhanbad Railway Division.
