According to witnesses and local authorities, the bus halted abruptly on a railway crossing, after which the high-speed train appeared to be unable to slow down in time. The train operator sounded multiple signals before impact, yet a reduction in speed proved infeasible under the circumstances. Regional leadership, including Mikhail Evraev, commented that the incident may have been influenced by actions of an officer who had consumed alcohol prior to the event.
