It happened at a level crossing south of the provincial capital. The man driving the vehicle suffered only minor injuries. The video of the crash.
The driver of a vehicle miraculously saved his life after his car was hit by a train after stopping in the middle of the tracks, in the southern area of the City of Córdoba. The incredible sequence was recorded in a video recorded by a woman who was located a few meters from the place where the violent collision occurred.
The images show a first car narrowly crossing the tracks at Manuel Baigorria and Cacheuta, in the Residencial Vélez Sarsfield neighborhood, despite the fact that the driver already alerted with repeated honks that he was about to pass.
Despite that warning, he then tried to cross a blue Fiat Siena. As reported by police authorities to local media, whoever was behind the wheel was trying to avoid traffic congestion in a nearby area.
The concrete thing is that the driver could not meet that objective, which was difficult from the beginning because the formation was very close to the vehicular intersection, but it ended up being complicated when the car stopped on the tracks, for unknown reasons.
The locomotive struck the front of the vehicle squarely on the passenger side, sending it sideways. “Uh, she killed him. He grabbed it,” a witness to the incident was heard saying.
The driver honked his horn several times before hitting a car in the city of Córdoba.
A woman, apparently the one who was taking the images, invited some children to greet the train conductor moments after the crash, perhaps without realizing the serious consequences that the accident could have caused.
Fortunately, whoever was behind the wheel of the car suffered only minor injuries from the strong impact and did not even need to be taken to a hospital. The event happened on Friday, but it ended up going viral on social networks this Saturday.
Another shocking accident, in Merlo
A shocking accident occurred on the morning of April 8 on the Sarmiento train tracks, in the Buenos Aires town of Merlo. Inside was a family of five people, of whom only two were injured.
The event occurred at the Los Patitos level crossing, on General Paz street. A car suffered a technical malfunction and was stopped on the tracks, unable to complete the crossing. The formation appeared in an instant and rammed the vehicle.
Inside the car was a family of five people, two adults and three minors. Only the driver got out of the car before the impact.
Although it cannot be seen in the video, the man tried to push the car, but could not move it from there, which is why he was thrown when the train hit the vehicle. The rest of the family stayed inside and were swept away by the formation.
As a result of the accident, two of the family members suffered minor multiple injuries and were transferred to a hospital in the area, police sources reported.
Meanwhile, the car, a Renault Clío brand, was left a few meters from the level crossing, on the side of the tracks, awaiting the completion of the expert reports and then being able to be transferred to police headquarters.
