H (born in 1984, residing in Hanoi City) in the direction of Hanoi - Lang Son and a car with license plate 98A-831.41 driven by Mr. P.M. D (born in 2001, residing in Tan Thanh village, Lang Giang commune) going from Tan Thanh village to National Highway 1A through a self-opened path.
The accident did not cause any casualties, but the car was damaged.
Test results: train drivers and car drivers had no alcohol concentration, negative for drugs. Currently, functional agencies are clarifying the cause.
The Traffic Police Department, Bac Ninh Provincial Police recommends that accidents at self-opened passageways across railways are very high-risk areas due to the lack of automatic warning systems.
People need to pay special attention: reduce speed, carefully observe both sides in front when crossing the railway. Absolutely comply with the rule of "stop - watch - listen - go" when crossing the level crossing.
For car drivers: lower the car window, turn off the sound in the car, focus on listening to the train horn signal to proactively prevent danger.
Do not intentionally cross when the train is approaching or has issued a warning signal. Only cross the road when absolute safety is ensured.
