Rail services disrupted as vehicle hits level crossing barriers in Manningtree

At a level crossing in Manningtree, the barriers were taken off after being hit by a lorry, causing disruption to rail services and road traffic.

The road was closed for two hours while repairs were being done so it could be made safe again for road traffic and for the trains.

People were advised to avoid the area and follow diversions.

A Network Rail spokesperson said at the time of the incident: “We have engineers on site carrying out repairs as quickly as they can. I apologise to those affected and understand how frustrating this disruption is, especially as we approach home time on a Friday. It is vital that we make the level crossing safe for everyone before re-opening the road.”
