Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- In Sergeli district of Tashkent, a diesel locomotive collided with the rear section of an articulated King Long bus on route 11.

The incident occurred on 29 May at approximately 15:50 at an unregulated railway crossing on Kumarik Street.

Representatives of the Toshshahartranshizmat company noted that the bus driver did not violate traffic rules. He stopped at a stop sign and began driving along with other vehicles.

In addition, the company noted that there was no controller at the crossing who could regulate the movement of vehicles when trains were approaching.
