Train collides with truck in Melbourne’s south-east

Melbourne commuters are lucky to be alive after a train collided with a truck in Melbourne’s south-east this afternoon.

The B-Double trailer was clipped by the train at a level crossing in Dandenong about 3.30pm.

No one was injured in the crash but passengers were forced to climb down from the train using a ladder.

The Cranbourne and Pakenham lines have been suspended with buses replacing those services.
