Episode notes
On September 9, 2026, a routine passenger journey across Poland ended in tragedy when the IC Koziołek collided with a cement mixer truck at a level crossing in Sokolniki Suche.
The impact derailed the locomotive and several carriages, leaving one passenger dead and multiple people injured.
In this episode of Final Signal, we reconstruct the moments leading up to the crash, the emergency response, the investigation, and the wider debate over railway crossing safety that followed.
A few seconds at a level crossing were enough to change an ordinary journey forever.
