Mai Kolachi Road has not been re -opened for traffic more than 18 hours after a trailer and an oil tanker crashed into a freight train at the unmanned rail transition on the transit route. Long queues of heavy vehicles extend on Mai Kolachi Road as traffic is redirected to alternative routes, while the police and rail authorities have not been able to give it clear.

The Bisarre crash that took place in the early hours on Friday has triggered a number between the oil tanker contractor association and the railway authorities. SP -Trafik for District West Noorul Haq Skins accused the railways and said there was heavy traffic on Mai Kolachi Road from 23:00 to 06:00 at the time of the accident.

According to SP Rind, the oil tanker, which carried 48,000 liters of gasoline, was transferred to another tanker at. 8.30 and the road was closed to prevent further unfortunate incidents.

He continued to add that Mai Kolachi Road has not a manned rail transition, while no warning was given to the traffic police about the passage of the freight train. “No railway personnel were present at the scene at the time of the accident,” he added.

On the other hand, the railway authorities claimed that freight trains do not pass through the Mai Kolachi road that crosses every day and that trains only arrive occasionally when goods are transported from the port.

The oil tanker contractor association criticized the railroads for the crash and pointed out that the lack of a crossing port and rail staff led to the disaster. Association President Abidullah Afridi said the driver of the tanker who lost a leg in the collision was the victim of circumstances outside his control. He called for financial compensation for the wounded driver and his family, adding that a four against the rail administration will be registered.

Meanwhile, the railway station’s superintendent of Kaemari Shahbaz Zaidi said investigations of the accident were underway. Daily freight trains pass through the Mai Kolachi Road area, but the absence of rail personnel during the incident is only clarified after the study.

According to the Helpline spokesman in 1915, traffic has been restored on the track from Tower to Boat Basin, and the road is reopening from Boat Basin to Tower.

Although the trucks and police accuse the railways of not having a gate set up, the question remains why the truck driver did not see the upcoming locomotive. A train is not a bicycle that trucks can crush and pass.

In their haste, they tried to drive the train, but were trapped in the middle of the tracks causing tremendous loss to the federal government. According to the law, the truck company and the driver will be held responsible for disrupting rail traffic and causing losses for national tax.
