Train collides with trailer at level crossing in Lunteren

A train collided with a trailer on a level crossing in Lunteren on Saturday evening. However, there were no injuries. The trailer belonged to people who wanted to steal a piece of rail that was lying on the tracks as construction material. Their trailer was still on the railroad crossing when the train passed there.
