process, she came parallel to the rail track.
2. IP was driving the vehicle within the specified speed limit.
3. Road condition was found good.
4. Rail track is crossing the road at an angle which is creating such a skidding hazard.

treatment.
2. Incident has been communicated to all concerned employees.
