Date: 07/13/16 16:29 Re: Train Truck collision Australia Author: SP4360 Train/vehicle collisions are no 'accidents', the vehicle driver is at fault. But try convincing the media of that-doesn't make good press. "Train hits idiot driver" just doesn't have punch to it as 'p[oor innocent driver gets ass kicked by mean old train'.
Glad no one was killed, hope his wallet is deep. Date: 07/14/16 05:24 Re: Train Truck collision Australia Author: 3rd_Raton I guess they were lucky it wasn't a VLocity DMU as the locomotive took the brunt of the impact

The article says a truck hit a train, which suggests to me it was the truck's fault. |
