Collided with? Or were in the path of...?
I'm thinking it's more the latter. You'd think people know by now what happens. My grandfather is missing a kidney because of a car/train collision that happened at 30 mph when his dad was trying to run the crossing. Every single time I'm at an uncontrolled grade level crossing, I stop and look, just like all the big trucks have that sticker on the back of the trailers.
It's not worth the risk. You might get away with it once or twice or a dozen times... but eventually it'll catch up to you and put you in a world of hurt, or worse. Just isn't worth it.
The phrase "caused deliberately" was interesting since people intentionally drive around the gates. The only situation I can recall where the car's driver was not responsible was when a woman's car was pushed into the train by her deranged ex-husband with his pickup truck.
Sounds like a suicide.
Had to take a young child with him, and involve others in the horror.
Sad all around.
