Horrifying moment van gets sliced in half by train

omg im gonna hit the plastic barrier. let me just risk my life and total destruction of the car by sitting on the tracks instead.

Natural selection

I heard these barriers are made so cars can drive through them... never back up or stop in a situation like that!

I wonder what was going on in his brain.

Never understand why people don't just ram through the arms. What's worse? A scratched van or death?

The award for idiotic driver of the year goes to whoever is behind the wheel in that van

The driver

> die being hit by a train > scratch your van driving through the barriers Seems a pretty easy choice to make.

I can feel his two brain cells working there

The fact dude was more worried about the barrier damagin his van than damn train smashin into it is insane 💀🤣

He had plenty of time to mount that shallow curb and push forward before the second barrier fully closed. The arms are lightweight and designed to break away easily! In the end, panic won out, the driver hesitated on the tracks, and it nearly cost them everything. Thankfully the driver had survived at the end!

When will people learn not to mess about at these type of crossings

I bet they panicked and logic went out the window because there was plenty of time for them to either bash the accelerator and try and force through the barrier (the car would win if you try this) or if they couldn’t figure that out, they should have just escaped on foot and put distance between themself and the vehicle.

Why the fuck did it stop

Bro had 3-5 business days to get through that gate before it closed. 🤦‍♂️

Potentially losing your life over a plastic barrier that breaks easily is insane

Bro stopped to give it way like it's a bus

This person definitely wore a mask and stayed home when told to.

How stupid is this driver? Didn’t do shit to go away

Bro has the IQ of a catfish

Is this recent @grok

This proper annoyed me. How can a driver be so stupid. wtf is he doing

The driver

I never understand how this happens. They first have to run lights to get cut off, but then they choose to respect the plastic barrier and sit and wait to be hit by a train... at this point you've already screwed up, so go through the barrier and don't die? Lol

At least he didnt break through the barriers . Should be banned from driving for life for this

This is what an overly-compliant mentality causes. Just drive through the damn arm! My God!

What’s horrifying is how we give people with such a clear lack of intelligence and decision making skill a license

But why did he stopped on the tracks for that long?

“Ok I can put my foot down and drive through a plastic barrier which might damage my bonnet, or wait for the train to take the van out… suppose I’ll just wait it out.” Darwin Award winner.

Why did you fucking stop before the barrier went down Why wouldn’t you get out

this guy deffo did not take his theory test man😭

Stupid mf 😂😂😂

Is the barrier made from Vibranium? Coz i'd have simply ram through it, rather than dying and totaling the van.
