Officials said that the incident took place around 4:30 am when the truck carrying wheat attempted to cross the railway tracks through an unauthorised route, reported the Times of India.
“The level-crossing has been long closed and was replaced by a Railway over Bridge. The truck still broke into the old level crossing stopper to land on the truck,” a senior official told TOI.
The crash reportedly damaged the railway infrastructure, including overhead electric wires. This disrupted the railway traffic briefly, which was restored around 8:50 am.
An investigation has been launched into the incident, officials said.
