Video: Train smashes BMW after driver turns onto Metro Blue Line tracks in South LA

Looks like an E39 5 Series. Doubt this guy would have been as lucky had he been in a lesser car.

You know there was a red left turn light for him, guess he didn't have time to wait. I see that stuff all the time in LA, that guy just picked the wrong place to drive like an ass.

Edit: there was even a gate down that he went around, Darwin award

The fact that the guy survived means that Darwin failed to predict correctly.

He actually even hit that gate. (slightly with the passenger side of his windscreen, you can see the gate move, before he hits the train)

So either very much blinded by the sun or thought he could beat that train.

No, F-ed LA drivers are morons without a reasonable doubt. They will try to beat anything including trains. No patience!
