Shortly before six in the morning on Tuesday, a vehicle that crossed with the barrier low was run over by a formation of the Sarmiento Train and

the driver miraculously survived after being dragged about 100 meters

.

According to authorities of the railway line, the serious accident

occurred at the level crossing of the Ramos Mejía station

, at the height of Monteagudo street.

In the video of the event, which was released hours later, it is seen how the train formation impacts a Chevrolet Meriva that crosses with the barrier low.

Luckily for the conductor, the train had just started from the station that was a few meters away and that is why it crashed at a not very high starting speed.

Thus they removed the Chevrolet Meriva from the Sarmiento Train tracks.

After the accident, the driver had to be transferred to a nearby hospital.

Meanwhile, the Sarmiento Train line operated with limited service between Moreno and Haedo stations until the vehicle was removed from the tracks, for which a large crane had to be used and the truck lifted over the wire.
