2021 Světec train crash

54334, operated by ORLEN Unipetrol Doprava (UNIDO) and hauled by a CZ Class 753.7, collided with a continuous freight train (průběžný nákladní vlak), no.

[1] The driver of the UNIDO train, which was carrying tank cars filled with propane and butane, died upon impact.

The driver of the ČD Cargo train, which was carrying coal, saved himself by jumping out of the locomotive.

A fire broke out on one of the locomotives, and 9 firefighter units and an air ambulance responded to the accident.

[2] According to preliminary information, the railway signalling had worked correctly, so the accident was probably caused by the UNIDO train driver killed in the crash.
