The driver must explain, i have believe that before you can cross the rail way line the is warning to show you that you must observe. The driver he was not in that condition. They must take his drivers licence and he must be suspended in South African raod for 20 years. condolence to the families that have lost they love one, kind who lost the Father, mother, sister, brothers
