"I put my complete trust in the sat nav and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she said."The crossing wasn't shown on the sat nav, there were no signs at all and it wasn't lit up to warn of an oncoming train."Obviously I had never done the journey before so I was using the sat nav - completely dependent on it," she said."I came to this crossing at Ffynongain and there was like a metal gate, which looked like just a normal farmers' gate with a red circle on it"I thought it was a dead end at first and then there was a little sign saying, if the light is green, open the gates and drive through.The car was hit up the railway line in the collision"So I opened the gate, drove forward, closed the gate behind me and then went to go and open the gate in front of me."Then I heard this train and I noticed train tracks. It was only then that I did realise I was on a train crossing."I just stood back and I just watched this train come in front of me.
