You don't expect this from those who are supposed to stop this. Shockingly, a railway signalman indulged in a dangerous act that posed a danger to the lives of those travelling the train. It was very fortunate for him and the passengers that no lives were lost. How the signalman survived is nothing short of a miracle.

The signalman crashed the car into the high-speed train at a level crossing at Rossington, just south of Doncaster. The train came to an emergency stop moments after the crash.


Drinking before the crash
According to reports, the 27-year-old signalman had been drinking at a local football club before he ploughed his car into the moving train.
