Ettringen - A truck driver missed a train at an unrestricted level crossing near Ettringen yesterday afternoon.
Fortunately, although there was a collision, no one was injured.
According to the police, the train was a “cargo train”, i.e. a goods transporter on rails.
This chugged leisurely towards the level crossing and started to honk when the train driver saw the truck.
The driver of the truck apparently noticed the train coming from the right too late, so there was a slight collision.
The front right side of the truck was slightly deformed.
Nobody got hurt.
According to the police, the truck driver is expected to pay a fine.
