A passenger train collided with a car that was wedged between the two gates of the Sejavat‑Bypass railway crossing on the Ratlam‑Ajmer line, halting traffic for about an hour. The driver escaped unharmed, and no casualties were reported.
A passenger train traveling on the Ratlam‑Ajmer route struck a car that had become lodged between the two gates of the Sejavat‑Bypass railway crossing. The collision caused a brief panic among commuters but, fortunately, the car driver managed to exit the vehicle before the train hit it, preventing any injuries.
Railway officials reported that the gatekeeper on duty was found to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, raising concerns about safety protocols at the crossing. The train was brought to a halt, and railway traffic on the line remained suspended for roughly an hour while the wreckage was cleared and the tracks inspected.
After the blockage was removed, normal train operations resumed without further delay. No passengers or railway staff were harmed, and the incident is being investigated by the railway police to determine accountability for the breach of safety standards.
