The Car Driver approached the Level Crossing with the Level Crossing gates open. He stopped the car, in a position he thought to be safe, to check for approaching trains prior to crossing the railway line. While stopped at the Level Crossing, he saw the approaching Train and realised that he was not in a safe position. He then attempted to reverse off the Level Crossing (as shown from the CCTV). However, he did not clear the Level Crossing in time and his car was struck by the Train. The Car Driver did not.
