Dublin truck tries to beat level crossing, fails miserably

We’ve already had one video of dangerous behaviour at level crossings today - a cyclist from Poland who had a very lucky escape - and now there’s one from closer to home.

Iarnród Éireann tweeted out a video of an incident that took place at the Merrion Gates crossing in Dublin. Despite the signals warning him to stop, a truck driver drove through the crossing as the barriers began to fall.
