Truck slips on level crossing

Ratingen - S-Bahn-Ratingen between chaos and Food: As a truck driver was blinded by the sun, rolled on Monday of the rail traffic with significant disturbances.
This had happened: The driver of the 7.5-tonner had on the Bahnhofstrasse in Hösel because of the sun not seen the light of the level crossing is red.
When he discovered that the bar just went down, he stepped on the brakes - and slipped further on the smooth road. Only on the move came the truck to a stop - and the bar fell on the roof of the truck
Thus, the entire S-Bahn was stopped for safety - nothing was more. From 13 to 13:40 clock by the track was blocked completely, and only after the traffic rolled back to normal.
