Check out the full note MRS Logística regrets what happened on Wednesday night (15/07), at a Level Crossing in the municipality of Pinheiral (RJ). At the time, despite the signage and the gate guard indicating the train was approaching, the driver of the vehicle acted recklessly and tried to cross the railway line. Upon seeing the infraction, the driver immediately activated the emergency brakes, but, as a train does not brake like a car, the collision could not be avoided. The person involved was rescued alive and taken to a health care center. MRS reinforces the importance of raising awareness when crossing the railway line. Respecting the signs, stopping, looking both ways and listening before crossing the railway are attitudes that save lives. It is important to remember that, according to article 212 of the Brazilian Traffic Code, not stopping the vehicle before crossing the railway line is a very serious infraction, and the driver is subject to a fine.
