Driver nearly hit by train at Greens' Morningside event

A driver crossed in front of an oncoming train at Morningside on 4 October, cutting short a Greens announcement on removing road-rail crossings on the Western Line. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick called it a 'very near miss', RNZ reported. The party says Auckland had just under 70 crashes and hundreds of near misses from 2013 to 2023.
