In the Volgograd region, near the Kotelnikovo station, the Kazan-Adler passenger train derailed, several cars overturned. This was reported by the telegram channel "Base".
According to the telegram channel Readovka, the culprit of the accident was the driver of KAMAZ, who wanted to skip the railway crossing.
"The truck driver jumped out at a railway crossing near the Kotelnikov farm at the moment when a passenger train was moving there. The collision could not be avoided, as a result of which the train derailed. It is not known about the victims [at the moment]," writes TK.
TC Shot clarifies that 8 cars derailed.
