Abstract

On 28 February 2001, ten people died in the accident at Great Heck, near Selby in Yorkshire, in which a Land Rover towing another vehicle left the M62 motorway, obstructed the railway line, and caused a serious train accident.

This is the report of the Working Group set up by the Health and Safety Commission at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to look at the circumstances of incidents where road vehicles have blocked railway lines and whether there were features in common that might have been preventable.
