Ukrzaliznytsia has issued a warning regarding delays in train services that have arisen from an accident near the Kolomak station. According to a statement posted on the official Facebook page of Ukrzaliznytsia, recovery operations are ongoing at the scene of the incident, leading to the decision to alter the routes of two trains.

Specifically, trains No. 94 from Kholm to Kharkiv and No. 8 from Odesa to Kharkiv will operate on a backup route that will pass through Poltava-Kyivska, Poltava-Pivdenna, Berestyn, and Merefa, while bypassing the Lyubotyn station. Ukrzaliznytsia warns that the expected delay for these trains may reach up to two hours.

Additionally, according to information from Ukrzaliznytsia, passengers on train No. 21/22 from Kharkiv to Lviv, whose journey was interrupted yesterday due to a collision with a truck at a crossing, have already been accommodated in backup carriages. This train is currently passing through the city of Myrhorod, continuing its journey to Lviv.

It is important to note that the accident, which occurred on April 2 in the Kharkiv region, involved a collision between a freight truck and a passenger train. As a result of this incident, both the locomotive and one of the train's carriages sustained damage. Preliminary reports indicate that the truck driver was injured; however, details regarding his condition have not yet been disclosed.

Ukrzaliznytsia is actively working to restore normal train operations and mitigate the consequences of the accident, while also urging passengers to stay updated through the company's official channels.
