@indothainewss: A foreign driver narrowly avoided disaster after attempting to beat a lowering railway barrier at a railway crossing in Pattaya on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on July 7 at the Soi Khao Talo railway crossing, where a lifted Toyota pickup became stuck on the tracks after the barrier came down onto the vehicle. An approaching oil train was forced to apply emergency brakes, coming to a stop just short of the truck after making slight contact with its front. Witnesses said the warning lights were already flashing and the barriers were lowering when the driver attempted to cross. After the train stopped, the pickup driver reversed off the tracks and left the scene. No serious injuries were reported. The dramatic incident, captured on video, has drawn widespread criticism online, with many calling the driver’s actions reckless. Authorities are expected to review the footage as part of their investigation. 📹: Pattaya News #train #pattaya #thailand
