Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “CCTV footage captures moment drunk driver smashes Range Rover into train at level crossing” – below is their description.
Shocking CCTV footage captured the moment Michael Rochford’s 4×4 collided with an LNER Azuma train at the Rossington level crossing on the East Coast Main Line near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on June 13. The train sustained damage while several passengers suffered whiplash injuries and a man in a nearby garden narrowly missed being struck by falling debris. Rochford, who worked for Network Rail as a signalling technician, had been drinking with pals at Rossington Main Football Club before the crash, a court heard. Witnesses waiting at the crossing described seeing his Range Rover Sport approaching the barriers at speed, mounting the pavement and striking the train. Rochford then crawled out of the vehicle and ran away, appearing unsteady and drunk, the court heard.
