French train driver killed after crashing into truck at railway crossing

A French high-speed train driver has died after his train collided with a truck carrying military equipment in northern France. The truck driver has been detained, and an aggravated manslaughter investigation is underway. The crash happened Tuesday at a railway crossing in Bully-les-Mines on a route from Dunkirk to Paris. Local authorities report that 16 people were injured, with two in serious condition. More than 200 passengers were evacuated. Prosecutor Etienne Thieffry says it's too early to determine the exact cause. The railway crossing gates were functioning correctly, according to SNCF head Jean Castex.
