cteno4 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 TOKYO — An express passenger train hit a truck at a level crossing in Hyogo Prefecture on Tuesday, police said, with footage and reports from the scene showing it had mounted a station platform. A picture published online by the bestselling Yomiuri Shimbun showed a carriage half-on a platform in Takasago City. A spokesman for the local police confirmed the accident and said the injury toll of 16 may rise. http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/train-hits-truck-injuring-16-in-hyogo Link to comment
gmat Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 NHK-1 Morning News showed a drawing showing that the flatbed was partially in the crossing and that the loading ramps had come down and the train had struck those. Best wishes, Grant Link to comment
