| Occurrence | Near miss at Knockcroghery Level Crossing, XM065, Co. Roscommon 31st Janurary 2017 |
| Occurrence Date | 31 January 2017 |
As Car 1 was effectively trapped in the confines with the level crossing, without enough opportunity to clear the level crossing as a result of the barriers not being fully raised, the RAIU make the following interim safety recommendation, which may be removed when the views of the level crossings are unobstructed:
Iarnród Éireann (Infrastructure Manager) should identify CCTV level crossings with obstructed views and issue interim instructions to LCCOs to fully raise the barriers where there is a possibility of any obstructions on level crossings.
