A freight train collided with a truck at a level crossing in Foirach, Austria, causing significant disruption to rail services.

The accident occurred when the truck driver stopped on the tracks to inspect potential damage to his trailer, leading to the closure of the crossing barriers.

Although no injuries were reported, the collision resulted in the derailment of several empty car transport wagons and extensive damage estimated to exceed one million euros.

The rail line between Leoben and Bruck an der Mur is currently closed, with replacement bus services in place.

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) is assessing the damage, and it remains unclear when the line will reopen.

Passengers are experiencing delays, and further updates are expected as cleanup efforts continue.
