The bulletin is available on the Rail Accident Investigation Branch website.

I found it interesting that a genuine but simple misunderstanding of a hand signal resulted in serious injuries to the loader (two broken legs).

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
