Train Accident Narrowly Averted in Jharkhand as Express Hits Truck at Level Crossing

A major train accident was narrowly avoided in Deoghar, Jharkhand, when the Gonda–Asansol Express collided with a truck stuck on the railway tracks. The incident occurred on Thursday morning at a level crossing between Jasidih and Madhupur stations on the Howrah–Patna main line. According to reports, a truck carrying rice got stuck on the tracks due to heavy traffic, preventing the railway gate from closing. The fast-moving express train spotted the obstruction just in time, and the alert loco pilot applied emergency brakes. Despite this, the train hit the rear of the truck and pushed it a short distance, causing significant damage to the truck and minor damage to the train engine. Miraculously, none of the hundreds of passengers on the train or nearby vehicles were injured. Passengers reportedly evacuated in panic, and train services on the route were delayed for nearly three hours. Railway authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, focusing on the failure to close the level crossing and potential negligence on the part of the truck driver. The visuals of the collision have now gone viral, highlighting both the risks at level crossings and the quick response of the train crew that prevented a major disaster.
