The 2001 [[Great Heck rail crash]] is also often referred to as the Selby rail crash. It happened a few miles south of Selby, at the village of [[Great Heck]] near the [[M62 motorway]], and Selby was the closest major town to the accident site. On 28 February 2001 a vehicle crashed off the M62 down an embankment onto a railway track, where it was struck by a passenger train heading to London. The accident was then compounded by a second collision involving an oncoming goods train.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wainwright |first1=Martin |title=The carnage at Great Heck |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/feb/28/selby.railtravel5 |access-date=1 July 2019 |work=The Guardian |date=28 February 2001}}</ref>
