Sat nav driver's car hit by train

I could feel the air just pass me and then my car just did a 360 degree turn on the tracks

Paula Ceely

A 20-year-old woman's car was wrecked by a train after she followed her sat nav system onto a railway track.

Paula Ceely, was driving her Renault Clio from Redditch, Worcester, to see her boyfriend in Carmarthenshire on a trip she was making for the first time.

She was trying to cross the line in the dark when she heard a train horn, realised she was on the track, and the train hit the car, sending it spinning.
Transport police said drivers must take care with satellite navigation.

No-one was injured in the incident, which was near Whitland and involved an Arriva Trains Wales Pembroke Dock to Swansea service on a Saturday.

"Obviously I had never done the journey before so I was using the sat nav - completely dependent on it," she said.

"I came to this crossing at Ffynongain and there was like a metal gate, which looked like just a normal farmers' gate with a red circle on it
"I thought it was a dead end at first and then there was a little sign saying, if the light is green, open the gates and drive through.
