Queensland Rail has criticised an irresponsible motorist following a near miss near Chinchilla this week, when the driver of a cement mixing truck ignored level crossing protection and narrowly avoided a collision with a coal train.
The incident occurred at the Canaga Creek Road level crossing, in Brigalow, a crossing which is protected by stop signs and railway crossing warning signage. Queensland Rail Acting Chief Executive Officer Jim Benstead said the incident occurred when the driver of the truck ignored the signage and failed to stop at the level crossing, as a coal train was approaching.
