Trains and level crossing accidents are always fatal. In this day and age, trains crossing traffic areas is insanity. However I will bet the circumstances will be some form of alcohol involved.

^especially as it's hardly a high speed rail link.

btw trains/vehicles accidents are not always fatal and level crossings have been around as long as road transport before even motor cars. Apart from the odd technical glitsch with automated crossings the problem invariably lies with that very defective component in all motor cars.

The loose nut behind the wheel.
