On 22 July 2015 at 7:43 a.m., a passenger train on its way from Bohumín to Františkovy Lázně collided with a truck on a rail crossing in Studénka, Czech Republic.

On 22 July 2015, a truck driver of Polish nationality was driving from Poland to Hungary with a load of aluminium plates.

The driver chose a time-consuming route on local roads in order to save money on highway tolls.

[4] Instead of ramming through the gate, which is constructed so as to allow even a motorbike to penetrate the barrier and automatically sends a stop signal to all approaching trains if breached, the driver moved the truck only a few metres forward in order to avoid a direct impact to its cab, with its trailer carrying aluminium sheets remaining on the track.

In February 2016 the County Court in Nový Jičín sentenced the driver to 8½ years in prison, and banned him from driving on Czech territory until 2026.
