2015 Studénka train crash
The 2015 Studénka train crash occurred on 22 July 2015 at 7.43 AM on railway #270. Train SC 512 Pendolino on its way from Bohumín to Františkovy Lázně collided with a truck on a rail crossing. Three passengers died and 17 people were injured. It was the deadliest train disaster in the Czech Republic since 2008, when a road bridge under construction collapsed just in front of an approaching train on the same track two kilometres ahead of the 2015 crash site.
On Wednesday 22 July 2015, a truck driver of Polish nationality was driving from Poland to Hungary with a load of aluminum plates. The driver chose a slow and time consuming route on local roads in order to save money on highway tolls. The driver drove through a rail crossing near train station Studénka. The rail crossing was protected by signal lighting and gates and the driver entered the crossing when the red lights accompanied by acoustic signal were on for at least 30 seconds. The driver drove into the crossing despite warnings and as the gates went down, he stopped the truck on the tracks.〔 Instead of ramming through the gate, which is constructed so as to allow even a motorbike to ram out of the crossing and automatically sends a stop signal to all approaching trains if breached, the driver moved the truck only a few metres forward in order to avoid a direct impact to its cab, with its trailer carrying aluminum sheets remaining on the track.〔 After a few seconds, train SC 512 Pendolino emerged from the curve leading to the crossing at .〔
The train driver pulled the emergency brake, managing to slow the train to at the moment of impact. The train came to a halt halfway along the Studénka railway station about 500 metres from the point of impact, pushing ahead and completely destroying the truck's chassis and trailer, while the truck's cab was chopped off and fell on the ground as a whole with minimum damage.〔 The trailer, as it was pushed by the train, inflicted major damage to the station platform with flying debris injuring six people at the station. Two passengers sitting in the front carriage were killed instantly, while the train driver lost his leg and sustained further serious injuries, including to his spine, as over three tons of metal sheets smashed through the driver's cabin all the way into the passenger compartment. Another 12 people were injured inside the train, one of them fatally.〔
The truck driver, completely unharmed in the crash, was detained by Czech police, charged with public endangerment which carries a penalty of 5 to 10 years' imprisonment and ordered into pre-trial custody by the court.
