WATCH: Car breaching rail crossing missed train by six seconds

Irish Rail cameras show the gripping moment in which a car breaches the barriers at the railway crossing in Redbridge.

As train-goers on the 11am Waterford to Dublin Heuston train on New Year's Day pulled out of the station, a car smashed through the barriers at the Redbridge railway crossing avoiding a collision with the train by just six seconds. 

Video from Irish Rail rail line cameras showed the gripping moment in which a driver skips ahead of four waiting cars and breaches the barriers. An Garda Síochána has issued an appeal for information following an alleged incident of dangerous driving which occurred on New Year's Day in Ferrybank, Waterford City at around 11.05am.

A video of the incident, shared by Damien Tiernan of WLR, can be seen here
