The way I see it, the only reason people get hit by trains is because they are stupid.  Its these stupid people that scream out about safer crossings.  Do crossing changes help, of course not.  Even when the gates are down, they zig zag thru and run them.  My opinion is, if your that stupid, you deserve what you get.

Some folks, even when protected from themselves, still find a way to get injured/killed.  Then the rest of us have to pay.  Natural selection would've taken care of most people like this early on LOL!  j/k

Well, it looks like there was only a crossbuck and the truck slammed on the breaks as soon as the windshield cleared the treeline.  I wonder if a train on this line is rare, since humans are creatures of habit and after slowing down a hundred times for nothing he just decided to pass on through at full speed.  Based on the camera read, it looks like this occured in Australia.
