Pay close attention to safety when driving near level crossing!!

Many families were left without a beloved child when a train crashed into a minibus in Cape Town earlier today!

Preliminary investigations into the accident that killed nine schoolchildren in Blackheath, just outside Cape Town on Wednesday morning indicate that the driver of the minibus they were travelling in tried to cross the train tracks while the boom was down, say police.

We would like to urge all our road users to pay attention to safe driving near Level Crossings. [Photos provided by ER24]
