I've thought it. You've probably thought it too. "I'll make it in time. I'll just hit the gas." You may be right.
Or you may be wrong.

Such a shame. So glad that no kids were in the vehicle. The statistics on this wreck just make me sick. Assume that the intersection is 24 feet across(12 foot lane width X 2). At 60 miles per hour the train is traveling 88 feet per second. Most of us can do the math. I’d think a minute and a half wait by the guy in the car would have been sufficient.
Please be careful.

Correction: 43 feet at that crossing due to the angle.
