A freight train derailed and fell from a bridge in Gansu, killing three people. The cause of the accident was that a heavy-duty dump truck collided with the bridge when passing the truck bridge. This caused the oncoming freight train to derail and fall from the bridge when passing through.

After the accident, a group of four people were trapped in the freight train carriage. After the rescuers' efforts, the four people were successfully rescued. However, three people still lost vital signs, and the remaining one was seriously injured and is undergoing active treatment. The truck driver was also detained and controlled by the public security organs after the accident. A freight train crashed into a train bridge, causing the freight train to derail and fall off the bridge

Where the train passes, there will be flat ground and bridges. When a heavy train crosses a bridge, it will produce a lot of vibrations. In order to ensure the safe movement of the train, the bridge needs to be stable enough.

Height limit signs will be set up under train bridges. If trucks with tall carriages pass through bridge tunnels, drivers must pay attention to the height limit space to avoid being unable to pass smoothly if the height exceeds the standard.

The accident occurred at night, and the driver’s vision was poor; a truck driver did not pay attention to the height limit of the train bridge and drove the ultra-high vehicle into the train bridge tunnel. Because of this, the same train bridge A collision occurred. The bridge was damaged after the collision, and then a freight train derailed and fell off the bridge without precautions. Truck drivers need to be vigilant and avoid making similar mistakes again

This is a painful lesson, and the responsibility lies with the truck drivers. He did not pay attention to the limited height of the bridge before entering the bridge tunnel, and did not check carefully before entering the bridge tunnel. This caused the carriage to collide with the bridge, causing damage to the bridge.

Similar things have happened in other places, but they have never caused such serious consequences. Through this driver’s painful experience and lessons, I also warn all large truck drivers to pay attention to the height limit, width limit and weight limit when driving.

Driving friends, drivers must slow down when passing bridges and tunnels. In this way, even if it cannot pass, the impact of collision can be minimized.
