Irish Rail services between Sandymount to Lansdowne had to be suspended during peak hours

CCTV footage shows the moment a truck crashes through a barrier at a level crossing in Dublin.

The video shows a white truck stopped in a yellow box at the crossing as the barrier comes down.

The barrier then hits the roof of the cab before the truck drives forward causing serious damage to the gate.

The incident at the barriers at Serpentine Avenue, Dublin, left commuters scratching their heads as the busy rail service was suspended.

Irish Rail released the footage of the crash and added that Dublin Bus are accepting rail tickets for the affected commuters.

Services between Sandymount and Lansdowne have been suspended after the incident.
