Transport prosecutors of Transbaikalia began checking the circumstances of the collision between a train and a car.

As told in Vostochno -Siberian Transport Prosecutor's Office, the incident in the area of ​​the Amazar railway station occurred on the night of April 6-7. A passenger car with a driver and two passengers jumped onto the rails right in front of an approaching freight train.

The driver applied the emergency brake, but a collision could not be avoided. Judging by the footage from the scene of the emergency, the passenger car practically turned into a pile of scrap metal.

However, the people in the car were lucky — they managed to jump out of the car before the collision and remained safe and sound.
