today
after

between
a

and
a
tractor
trailer
on
a
user-worked
farm
crossing
in
Herefordshire.

A
32-year
old
man
was

following
the
crash
near
Leominster
on
Thursday
morning.

Two
people
on
the
Transport
for
Wales
train
who
received
minor
injuries
were
taken
to
hospital,
but
the
tractor
driver
was
unhurt
and
the
train
was
not
derailed.

have
been
gathering
evidence
at
