There are some incidents that just make you believe in the power of luck. Or at least, that’s what we think the driver of this BMW may believe after surviving a collision with a moving train.
Yes, a BMW got crushed by a moving train when it turned on a train track. The car turned on the train track, though the gate arm was down and consequently, was horribly crushed in seconds.
Miraculously, the driver survived with minimal injuries. The LA Police Department shared the video through their Twitter handle and used it to stress the importance of obeying traffic rules.
This could’ve had a tragic outcome. Fortunately the driver survived with minor injuries, but this should serve as a good reminder to all of us — pay attention near train tracks, and always obey all traffic signals and devices. pic.twitter.com/udDSkeDTPn

Seriously, the driver didn’t see the train gates were down and flashing AND I‘m sure the Train Conductor was BLOWING THE WARNING HORN!! What is Wrong with people?!?! That train conductor must have been horrified to see what was coming and there was NOTHING more he could do!!
