Multiple cars carrying fuel ignited after a deadly collision with a truck, officials say<\/strong><\/p>\n

A freight train exploded into flames after colliding with a truck in Russia’s Smolensk Region on Friday, the authorities have said.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred at a road crossing about 45 kilometers west of Smolensk on the railway line to Vitebsk, Belarus, officials reported.<\/p>\n

The Investigative Committee said the truck driver, who died at the scene, appeared to have ignored warning lights and failed to stop. The agency has opened a criminal negligence case.<\/p>\n

Railway officials said the train’s engineer and assistant suffered minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, 18 cars derailed: 16 of them tipped over and caught fire, including 12 carrying gasoline and four loaded with timber.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry deployed ten fire trucks as well as a specialized firefighting train to battle the blaze.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Both train and road traffic through the crossing were suspended, but officials said the disruption was minor and did not affect cross-border travel with Belarus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
