The man has captured footage from the moment three cars and one truck drove around boom gates after a train had already been through.

He described the scene as a disaster waiting to happen.

“Anything could have gone wrong,” he said.

“The heavy vehicle had a container and he wasn’t in a big rush, he was just going to unload.

“He could have clipped the boom gates – anything could have happened.”

The man said once the truck went through, other vehicles started following.

“People might have thought the booms gates were broken or something, and just followed each other,” he said.
