Shocking CCTV showed the driver approaching the level crossing with red lights flashing, stopping briefly in the wrong position and accelerating onto the tracks.

The oncoming freight train then ploughed into the side of the vehicle.

The police said the exact circumstances are still under investigation.

According to Polish State Railways (PKP PLK), around 50 passenger trains were delayed by a total of 1,405 minutes, while four freight trains were held up by 564 minutes.

The operator said 99% of accidents at level crossings result from driver error including ignoring signals, haste or bravado.
