Near miss interrupts Greens' Morningside level-crossing announcement

The Greens' announcement on removing Western Line level crossings was interrupted at Morningside on 4 October when a driver crossed in front of an approaching train. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick described it as a 'very near miss', according to RNZ. The party cites just under 70 crashes and hundreds of near misses in Auckland between 2013 and 2023.
