Shocking footage has captured the dramatic moment a lorry bulldozes through a level crossing seconds before it closes.
The video shows the vehicle plough through a barrier in the West Midlands - resulting in travel chaos across the region.
Fire crews from Kidderminster were sent to the scene just before 10am this morning (Friday, November 22). The incident has since been left in the hands of Network Rail.
No injuries have been reported but the windscreen of the van was damaged as a result of the collision.
The scene was littered with debris and engineers are working to reattach the broken barrier.
Watch the video above to see the dramatic moment.
Trains are able to run through at a reduced speed until the work has been completed but passengers have been advised to expect delays for the rest of the day, particularly between Kidderminster and Stourbridge.
A fault with the signalling system is also causing travel chaos between Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill.
Signalling engineers are currently on site working to rectify this issue but National Rail has warned trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised.
Passengers are urged to check West Midlands Railway or National Rail before travel.
