Train Near-Misses Surge in SA | Australia News

South Australia’s rail network is facing a dangerous spike in near-misses, with 163 incidents last year — up 4% — and the Gawler line alone accounting for 72 of them. CCTV footage shows heart-stopping moments: a woman narrowly dodging a speeding train and a cyclist cutting dangerously close. Pedestrian crossings saw a 54% jump, while cyclists caused 35% of all close calls — most happening between 7 and 8 PM. Transport officials are sounding the alarm, calling the footage “terrifying,” urging everyone to ditch headphones and phones when crossing tracks — because one moment of distraction could cost lives.
