This wasn’t a case of drink driving, speeding or being distracted. The findings from coronial inquest showed countless safety issues at both the crossing and the train itself.On that fateful Saturday night, those kids did not stand a chance.Since then, Lara hasn’t stopped fighting to make rail crossings safe – and she now represents a dozen families across Australia who have lost loved ones in similar circumstances.This is an episode about grief, public safety and holding authorities to account.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
