Truck v Train - fatal crash
Emergency services are
at the scene of a fatal crash involving a light truck and a
freight train just off State Highway 2 north of
Woodville.
Railway officials were alerted to the incident by the train driver just before 5 pm this afternoon. It appears the truck was been driven across a level crossing on a small side road leading to the main highway when it was hit and pushed off the tracks into a nearby paddock.
The sole male occupant of the truck was confirmed deceased at the scene shortly afterwards.
The incident has not impacted on traffic flow on the highway.
