A tractor was involved in an accident at the Pagojės overpass on Saturday, June 13th, according to reports from “anyksta.lt.” The incident occurred when the driver of a BMW car failed to notice an approaching train while passing under the overpass. The impact, described as not being severe, left the tractor on the tracks, which subsequently pulled the car into a nearby field until it came to a stop. The article noted that this location has been associated with previous incidents involving vehicles and the railway infrastructure.
Specifically, “anyksta.lt” recalled an earlier event at the same Pagojės overpass where an Audi car reportedly collided with a festively decorated train during New Year’s Eve celebrations. These reports highlight instances where motorists have had difficulty detecting passing rail traffic at grade separation points. The current accident underscores the potential hazards posed by vehicles failing to adequately observe the movement of trains passing beneath an overpass structure.
The details provided focus solely on the sequence of events: a car striking a train at the overpass, resulting in the vehicle being moved off the tracks.
