Attempting to cross the level crossing, the driver found that his vehicle kept turning left, leading to a reversal and ultimately detaining the lorry at the crossing

As the lorry was stuck, the level crossing gate remained open for an extended period, affecting the flow of trains

The vehicle eventually managed to pass through the gate but broke down immediately after, further blocking the crossing

It resulted in a nearly ten-minute delay in suburban train services as the railway authorities struggled to clear the obstruction
