EVIDENCE STILL BEING COLLECTED ON CAR TRAIN CRASH

Inspectors are continuing to "gather evidence" a week after a crash between a train and a car.

The crash occurred at a level crossing near Redcar station, in Teesside on 1 May.

There were nine passengers on board the train but no one was injured.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said a decision was "yet to be taken" on whether a full investigation was needed into the cause of the crash.

The Northern rail service was travelling from Saltburn to Nunthorpe when the crash involving the two-carriage train took place.

Network Rail described the incident as a "low-speed collision".

A spokesperson for the RAIB said a team of inspectors had been deployed and were continuing to "gather evidence about the accident".

They said: "A decision will be taken once all the evidence collected has been reviewed."
