The man deliberately crossed the railway tracks when the traffic light was red.
In the darkness of night, the driver deliberately drove the truck across the railway tracks while the warning signal was active, causing damage to the barrier.
The Dien Chau Traffic Police Station, under the Traffic Police Department of Nghe An Provincial Police, announced that they have issued a citation and imposed an administrative fine on driver D.V.D. (born in 1976, residing in Tay Tien Hai commune, Hung Yen province) for crossing the railway tracks when the red light was on.
For this violation, the driver was fined 5,000,000 VND and had his driver's license suspended for 2 months.
Earlier, at approximately 1:04 AM on April 20, 2026, at the railway crossing with automatic warning system at Km276+351, between Cho Sy and My Ly stations, in Duc Chau commune, Nghe An province, a truck with license plate 17H-048.48, driven by D.V.D., deliberately crossed the railway tracks while the danger warning system was active.
The violation caused the D1 barrier to bend, posing a potential safety risk to railway traffic.
The Traffic Police Department of the Provincial Public Security recommends that people participating in traffic at railway level crossings must strictly comply with traffic lights, warning bells, and barrier systems. Carelessness and deliberate violations will not only result in severe penalties according to regulations but also pose a potential risk of leading to particularly serious accidents.
