That is very sad.

ccmmick.

Yes, very sad for all involved. It is also very unusual for an accident like this to happen on a crossing controlled from a signalbox and for two road vehicles to be involved.

Unusually, the line is still closed, replacement bus services are in operation on the Marches line and I believe the wrecked cars and the train are all still in situ nearly 24 hours after the collision.

'Barriers up' in fatal rail crash (BBC News)
 

The safety barriers were up at a level crossing in Herefordshire when a woman was killed by a passing train, British Transport Police says.

BTP have said that the barriers were open at the time of the accident. This is a strange one for sure.

I know this crossing well. Terrible to learn that someone has died on it. There will be the most almighty investigation into this one – modern level crossings are supposed to be completely safe when used correctly, and by all accounts the car drivers did nothing wrong in this case. They weren't taking chances by jumping the lights or anything.
