The crash happened today at 12:30 with significant damage to the front end of the 170 (pictures below) at Roundham, essex when it collided into a tractor at a Level crossing.
135 people were on board at the time.

The driver of the tractor are both been injured sersiously and have been air lifted to hospital with 9 other people treated at the scene. Somehow the train driver seems to be fine with a few minor injuries.
