Baden-Württemberg: truck stuck on level crossing

Constance (dpa/lsw) - In order to avoid a train accident in Constance, a truck driver who got stuck at the level crossing tore down a level crossing barrier on Thursday. According to the police on Friday, the semitrailer had previously stopped at the level crossing because the driver and his long team could not pull out because of an oncoming car. The level crossing barrier was lowered between the semi-trailer and the tractor, which was standing on the tracks. Damage of around 10,000 euros was caused to the barrier system.
