Updated:

Five people sustained minor injuries after a train crashed into a truck at a level crossing in the Netherlands.

A train crashed into a large truck at a level crossing in the Netherlands on Thursday, October 30. The high-speed impact demolished the truck and left five people with minor injuries, according to rail operator Prorail.

Footage from a fixed security camera in the town of Meteren shows the truck inching forward and reversing several times as the barriers come down, moments before the train slams into it, scattering debris across the tracks and surrounding area.
