I see NR have released footage of 2 xing incidents in Essex this week:

"DRIVERS are being warned to be patient at busy levels crossings following two incidents on the same day.
Footage released by Network Rail shows a careless driver jump the red lights at the Manningtree crossing earlier this month on the A137 Ipswich Road.
The same footage also shows a second car frantically reversing and pulling into the right-hand lane to avoid the barrier dropping onto their car.
A second incident happened on the same day about ten miles away at East Gates crossing in Colchester. A car went through the red, flashing lights and a second driver, completely disregarded the signals and dangerously raced across the tracks as the barriers were descending."
