On November 1st about 8:10 pm on Echmiadzin-Masis distance a car collided with a passenger train № 7011 on Yerevan-Araks route. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Again, the incident occurred on the driver’s negligence: ignoring all sorts of security measures, the driver crossed the railroad tracks without traffic enforcement risking not only their health and lives, but also the safety of passengers trains.
Sadly, but this is the second accident last week. On October 30 at about 13:00 on Arteni-Qarakert distance a freight train collided with an OPEL. Taking the emergency brake the train ran into the car dropping it to 6-7 meters. As a result of emergency one person died and four were injured. And all this happened after repeated warnings from both the police and the railway.
CJSC “SCR” once again reminds drivers that protected crossings should be crossed only with the permission of the duty, and unprotected ones with full confidence in the safety and help trying to rush ahead the train that can lead to serious consequences. Often even in protected crossings drivers ignore the claims of the duty and try to avoid the gate crossing the road in front of full-speed-up rolling stock.
For its part, SCR takes all necessary measure to ensure traffic safety: holds a program of repair of railway crossings, regularly carried out to identify shortcomings on crossings, conducts technical studies for the duties.
Rail transport can not stop at once: in an emergency stopping trains pass a distance of at least 800 meters. Be careful and remember that by your wrong actions you endanger not only yourselves, but also the lives and health of passengers!
