On the adjacent track, the cabin of the trailer truck was crushed, trapping the driver inside. After two hours of effort, rescuers cut open the cabin to pull out the driver, identified as Pankaj Kumar from Gonda. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Railway officials arrived shortly after the incident, and a mechanical team replaced the broken windows of the G2 coach.

According to details, the trailer truck (UP 43 AT 9967) was travelling on the Ramnagar–Fatehpur road, about 30 km from Barabanki. It was loaded with plywood and heading from Sitapur to Bihar. Around 9.30 pm, while crossing the flyover near Burhwal station, the driver lost control, and the truck fell nearly 25 feet onto the railway tracks just as the Garib Rath Express was passing on the adjacent line.

The fall of the truck damaged the electric supply line, and several electric poles bent under the impact. A stone from the flyover broke off and struck one of the train’s coaches. As rescue teams reached the spot, the truck was removed from the tracks. After repairs and an engine replacement, the train was allowed to move again nearly six hours later. Fortunately, no passenger was hurt.

Barabanki SP Arpit Vijayvargiya said he received information around 9.30 pm that a dumper loaded with plywood had gone out of control and fallen onto the railway track. A police team and the fire brigade reached the spot immediately. The fallen truck caused stones to hit the train, damaging one of its coaches, but no passengers were injured.

Once the damaged coach was inspected and cleared, the train was allowed to move ahead. The debris on the track was removed, and train services have now resumed.
