Details
The Kerang train collision occurred on 5 June 2007 at about 1:40 pm AEST in the Australian state of Victoria, approximately 6 kilometres north of the town of Kerang in the state's northwest, and 257 kilometres north-northwest of the city of Melbourne. Southbound V/Line passenger train service 8042 which consisted of locomotive N460 and carriage set N7 and a northbound semi-trailer truck collided at a level crossing where the Swan Hill railway line crosses the Murray Valley Highway. The locomotive and first carriage escaped impact as the truck swerved left. However, the second carriage and third carriages were both struck, causing major structural damage and fatal injury to passengers. There have been many accidents with vehicles striking the sides of trains, however this incident was particularly devastating given the size and speed of the truck. The nearly 40 tonne truck which was travelling at 120 km/h was totally destroyed on impact with the carriages, its driver sustaining serious spinal and head injuries.
