Acland Mine, New Hope Group mine surveyor Martin Leggat said: "I was driving along in a light vehicle and came to an intersection, looked both ways, didn’t see anything, so I started to accelerate.

"Then SAFEmine CAS went off and alerted me that a vehicle was coming and within a second there was big 793 dump truck coming down on me, so the system basically saved me."
