OMG...it's not Mr Worthing's is it?????

He's only just got it FFS!!

Yish, I could not shee zshe crazshee car it wazsh not bright enough.

(Dutch accented train driver of course).

Hope all are okay. Side airbags came in handy I expect.

I love how the car colour co-ordinated with the train too..

I was just about to say the same! Paul what have you done?

Damage is minimal at least... good sign?

By the way what wheels are on the Fiesta, look rather nice :P

My god that shell has held up well. It hit a TRAIN! :o

hope the car was not there in the first place due to the engine failing

wow how strong is the fiesta it stopped a train :lol: reset air bags bit of polish and drive it away ;)

Flic - the first thing I noticed was that the car and train were both matching colour wise lol.

I'd love to know the story behind this... It doesn't look like the train was going very fast at all - or the car should have been pushed a lot further, hey?

I think it's gonna take more than some t-cut anyways!

Chris...

It looks like it been dug into the road though.

That might struggle with a MOT test.

Looks like its up a creek without a paddle lol

What a place to run out of juice!

I'd love to know the story with this!

Going by the first photo, it looks as though there are two parallel level crossings, and the Fiesta must have been hit on the one in the background and shunted forwards onto the second crossing. (Just going by the gravel and turf that the car's wheels have dragged with it - can be seen better on the second photo).

Either way, must have been nasty. I wonder if the driver managed to get out before the shunt happened, especially as it was the driver's side that was actually hit. (Though if they had time to run, that means the car must have stalled - a bit worrying!)

To be perfectly frank - all joking aside - I think we're missing the real point here ladies and gents. There are some serious lessons to be learnt from this accident, it really is no laughing matter. I encourage you all (for your own safety), to study this BBC public information video.

Think...

Poor little fiesta :-(

Welshie - never seen that before.. thats real scary stuff, youv really gotta be an idiot to run a crossing!
