## Resource

A Queensland Rail train collided with a stranded truck on a Brisbane level crossing in August 2025, sending the trailer flying—but the driver narrowly escaped. The truck, immobilized by a sudden air brake failure, blocked the tracks for over four minutes before safety systems activated. Shockingly, no one called emergency services, leaving rail control unaware and unable to warn the approaching train. The truck’s color also made it hard to spot. The ATSB now urges anyone stuck on tracks to immediately evacuate and call for help. Queensland Rail vows to improve crossing safety and educate drivers—because in moments like this, quick action could save lives.
