'Hero' Train Driver Warns Passengers of Impending Crash

Credit: Koleje Wielkopolskie. A Polish rail company has made available dramatic footage of an April 19 collision between a train and a truck at a level crossing. Matthew Szymanski, the driver, told local media that he saw the broken-down truck on tracks near Poznan and pulled the emergency brake. Realising the train would not stop in time, he dashed from his cabin to warn passengers to duck. Nobody was reported injured.
