Default [28-2-2008] Ballina - Manulla Junction

There was a train vs car incident this morning about 11am at a user worked crossing

Probably the 10:50 Ballina - Manualla Junction train

Services obviously impacted by nothing on the Irish Rail site

A man has been killed in an accident at railway level crossing in Co Mayo.

He was the driver of a car which was struck by a train on the outskirts of Straid at around 11am.

The incident occurred on the Ballina to Dublin line where it intersects a minor road. The crossing has gates which are opened and closed by motorists.

Iarnród Éireann says an investigation into the accident is under way.
