In a collision derailment accident between the Keikyu Line and a heavy truck, the situation up to the accident was captured in detail by the camera that Keikyu had installed at the railroad crossing. The level crossing was repeatedly opened and closed three times during the five minutes before the accident, and the truck repeatedly attempted to enter the level crossing during that time.

The camera first picked up the track about to enter the railroad crossing at around 11:38 am. It was reflected that he was going to turn right from the road next to the railroad crossing.

A few seconds later, as the railroad crossing bar started to close, the truck stopped in front of the bar.

At around 11:40, the level crossing breaker opens, and the truck attempts a second approach to the level crossing. However, as soon as the breaker bar started to close, it stopped again in front of the breaker bar.

At around 11:41:30, the truck will try to enter for the third time. The truck turns somehow to the right, but when the front part of the car enters the railroad crossing, it stops without turning completely. At that time, the bar of the breaker came down and touched the truck bed.

However, the truck moved forward, and a special train collided with the truck bed at around 11:43 am, a few seconds after the entire car entered the railroad crossing.

The site is a "crossing without opening"

According to Keikyu, the level crossing where the accident occurred is a so-called “unopening level crossing” where the circuit breaker does not open for a long time. Is about 30 minutes in an hour.

According to a survey conducted by Keikyu in 2014, the “Kanagawa Shinmachi No. 1 railroad crossing” where the accident occurred was 48 minutes in the morning and evening peak hours, so the so-called “ It was a level crossing without opening. In the time zone from 11:00 am to noon when the accident occurred, it will decrease slightly, but it will still take about 30 minutes to block the road.

According to Keikyu, the nearest station, Kanagawa-Shinmachi, is a transit station, and there is a garage nearby, so it is said that the crossing time along the line is relatively long.
