Sea-news.az reports citing the national railway company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTJ), that the accident occurred on November 2 at an unguarded and unregulated railway crossing.
The driver of the truck failed to yield the right-of-way to the light locomotive, which was transiting without railcars at a speed of approximately 5 km/h. The collision resulted in severe technical damage to the locomotive.
