According to witnesses, a truck was going to pass the level crossing near Nosaby Church exactly when the barriers went down at 9.00 a.m.
The two drivers who were at the front of the train (one on duty, one off) died and 47 passengers were injured.
The truck driver claimed that he was dazzled by the sun, and that he didn't see the barriers that went down.
[4] Rather than quickly leaving the level crossing by driving through the barrier, he left the truck and tried to lift the barrier while the truck was left on the rail.
On 19 December 2005, he was sentenced to prison for 1 year and 2 months for reckless driving ("vårdslöshet i trafik"), causing death ("vållande till annans död") and causing bodily harm ("vållande till kroppsskada") by Kristianstads Tingsrätt.
