DANGEROUS ROADS * Australia - Qld Govt ignoring advice about level crossings
Queensland,Australia -ABC News -Jan 2, 2009: -- The Queensland Opposition has accused the State Government of ignoring warnings about safety at level crossings after a train collided with a truck in the far north yesterday... The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) wants boom gates and flashing lights installed at every Queensland level crossing after the fatal crash between the Sunlander train and a garbage truck at Mundoo, near Innisfail... The truck driver was killed in the crash... Six people were also injured, including three pregnant women... All of them have been now discharged from hospital... Transport Minister John Mickel says installing boom gates and flashing lights at every level crossing in Queensland will not necessarily save lives... He says it costs about $1 million to install boom gates at a level crossing and the upgrades will not guarantee safety...Labels: dangerous roads
