IRISH RAIL HAS released a video showing a careless van driver ploughing through a closing crossing in Galway.

Gardaí are now searching for the driver of the vehicle which could be seen crashing through the white barriers at Kiltartan in Galway earlier this week.

The 6pm train from Limerick to Dublin was delayed as a result.
