A train collided with a taxi at an unguarded level crossing on Heterensestraat in Valburg around 08:00, injuring no one. The taxi carried a driver and two children, all unharmed. Both the train and the taxi were heavily damaged, train traffic was temporarily halted, and passengers were transferred by coach.
