TWO women are lucky to be alive after a train ploughed into their car at 110km/h yesterday in Dandenong South.
The car was dragged 500m from the Dandenong South crossing, scattering debris, and burst into flames with the women trapped inside.
But a quick-thinking truckie rushed to the rescue, using a fire extinguisher to douse the blaze.
The shaken train driver was amazed but relieved that the women survived.
“He hit them at more than 110km/h and there was bugger all left of the car,” train drivers’ union official Terry Sheedy said.
“I’ve spoken to the driver and he said he doesn’t know how they survived. They were very lucky to escape.”
Paramedics were also amazed no one died.
Ambulance manager Andrew Watson praised the actions of the truckie.
“It was a remarkable effort, considering he was quite distressed by what he saw,” he said.
Mr Watson said ambulance crews arrived at the scene of the crash, which happened at the Greens Rd railway crossing just before 8.30am, to find a smouldering car beside the tracks. It took 30 minutes’ delicate work to free the women.
“It’s a miracle they survived, as the car is virtually unrecognisable,” Mr Watson said.
Mr Watson said before the car’s roof was removed, paramedics tried to treat the women through the windows.
One woman, in her 60s, suffered a deep cut to her forehead, a suspected fractured skull and shoulder and hip injuries.
The other woman, in her late 20s, suffered minor injuries, including bruising.
Both were taken to The Alfred hospital.
Mr Sheedy, the secretary of the locomotive division of the Rail Tram Bus Union, said the driver had received counselling.
About 30 services on the Cranbourne line were affected as a result of the crash.
The incident capped off a chaotic start to the day for rail commuters. More than 200 services were cancelled in the western suburbs after a man threatening self-harm climbed a pole at Newport about 5.35am.
The incident, which stranded 400 passengers at Laverton and another 2000 V-Line passengers travelling from Geelong, was not resolved until 8.56am.
