The police reported at around 08:20 that a road closure had been set up. However, this was later non-existent for unknown reasons. Only the light signal of the level crossing was on permanent red. The barriers were open. Long lines of cars jammed in front of the red light. At times the barriers closed even though no train was passing, then they opened as trains approached. Dangerous situations arose as road users and pedestrians repeatedly lost patience and disregarded the red light. After that, all locomotive conductors were clearly instructed that they had to stop before the crossing, regardless of whether the barriers were closed or open. Only after a stop and a signal blast did they cross the crossing, which was equipped with a Radar Danger Zone Clearance (GFR) system. At approximately 2:00 p.m., a service technician arrived and worked to locate the fault.
