Road users are reminded to take care around level crossings. A truck has ploughed through a crossing despite warning lights, coming within centimetres of a catastrophic collision with a train, renewing concerns over safety at remote level crossings.  The incident, which occurred near Norseman, about 700 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia's Goldfields, was captured by a video camera on the Aurizon train as it travelled from Kalgoorlie to Esperance on Saturday, February 10.The footage, which has been viewed more than 200,000 times on social media, shows a truck travelling through the crossing despite the warning lights and narrowly missing the oncoming train. Vision from inside the train shows how close the truck came.(Supplied: Aurizon)This comes after a media report of a train and truck collision in Beveridge, Victoria, on Monday. However,  all on board were safely evacuated. Aurizon's general manager of iron ore and central west in WA, Neil Sutcliffe, said these incidents were \"traumatic\" for rail crews.\"For our train drivers, it's like slow-motion,\" he said.\"They can't swerve. They can't hit an auto-stop … they are rolling towards that truck and there's nothing they can do apart from brace.\"A second separated our crew from a serious collision.\"Mr Sutcliffe said the incident should serve as a reminder to all road users about the potential dangers of level crossings.\"There is a lot of traffic that our crews see daily, rushing through traffic lights,\" he said.\"Our drivers are seeing this constantly.\"A WA Police spokesman said, as the matter was not officially reported to police, no charges had been laid.Find more local newsBrowse for your location and find more local ABC News and informationPosted 15m ago15 minutes agoTue 20 Feb 2024 at 1:58am, updated Just nowTue 20 Feb 2024 at 2:14amShareCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)More on:NorsemanRail Accidents and IncidentsRail Transport IndustryRoad Accidents and Incidents","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2412192553"}
