Three conscription soldiers died in Finland

Finnish service News Yle reports a tragic incident at one of Finland's railway crossings. The material says that the control desk of the operator on duty received a message that a train collided with a military truck in the Raasepori region (south-west of Finland). It is stated that the truck before the collision could stall at the crossing.

The train driver after a while confirmed the incident by a special link. It is reported that the train was from Karyaa to Hanko.

As a result of the collision, four people were killed, one of whom was a passenger of the train, three of them were servicemen of the Finnish Armed Forces service. 11 people were injured and injuries of varying severity. Among the wounded and injured are mostly conscripts. All the injured were taken to the clinics of the cities of Raasepori and Helsinki. 7 people are in serious condition.

It is reported that the railway communication on the section Karjaa-Hanko is temporarily closed. Special commissions work at the scene. One of them is the commission of service of the Finnish railways, the other from the Ministry of Defense of the country. The cause of the collision is found out.

Most likely, the driver grossly violated the rules, wanted to slip through ... if he were driving on a semaphore enable signal, then even if they had time to leave the car stalled ....

More recently, in September, during a NATO exercise in Sweden, a passenger train collided with an armored personnel carrier while moving. But then no one died.

In general, I feel sorry for people - especially young and healthy people who, by conscription not in war, but in peacetime, accidentally died or were seriously injured, even if they were Finnish military personnel.
I sympathize with their parents and relatives!
And I wish the wounded in the train crash a speedy recovery! And a peaceful sky over our countries!

It is sad when young people die for no reason, due to some accident. Moreover, Finland is not a NATO member and the death of its soldiers is not at all interesting.

hence the conclusion - the Swedes are much faster than the Finns

Unfortunately, tragic cases occur everywhere. Sorry for the young lives.

... no one is safe from such cases ... and we also have a lot of them, though with civilians ...

Judging by the article, the driver is to blame. Therefore, the guys died due to non-compliance with elementary rules. It’s worse when they die because of their stupidity without observing elementary security measures, which have been warned more than once (which happened during the exercises with us). Of course, condolences to relatives, but what else can be expressed.

I don’t know how the Finns do, but in RA (SA) the driver of the car is supervised by the driver’s actions. They, I suppose, have the same thing, if only the fighters didn’t get better at self-propelled.

Why hypocrisy?

[APASUS]

It looks like a light truck, something that resembles our GAZ-66

Fighters are sorry. Drove - ..duck, he could drive the fighters out of the car. Slap it.
Condolences to the dead. Most likely the soldiers did not even see the impending danger because of the awning.
