The shaken lady driver of this car was lucky to escape with cuts and bruises on Wednesday evening, when she lost control of the vehicle causing it to plunge through a fence and hedge, career down a fifty-foot embankment, cross the up line and come to rest across the down line at Aldridge.
Container train 4M63 running from Bescot to Hams Hall had passed the site literally seconds before the car crashed onto the tracks.
Three trains (including 6M51 and 6G45) were held along the Sutton Park line while the vehicle was winched clear, and two hours later at 2000 the line was open for business.

Excellent ! . The whole point of selling these 4x4's is to go off road isn't it ?. Oh no i forgot, they are just for picking the kids up ! . Great shots, you'll have to show me where it happened. More fencing comming your way by the look of things .
