Last night we started our "Thrill on the Hill" Winter Fun for the City

We block off the Main road which has a big hill and create a down hill tube run. 

We had a DJ area setup for music and allot of other things going on with local businesses.

So doing this, certain areas/streets around the event had 2'x3'x6' CONCRETE barriers to keep everyone safe.

Some wonderful lady that felt that she was to important to just drive around the block thought she would weasle her way between the barriers and take off down the road. Mind you this was in the evening and dark out.  Low and behold she found the next level of barracades a little farther down the road when her pretty little SUV SMASHED into them.  MMM MMM MMM  Why do people think they can just disregard the safety of other because they feel they are important enough to ignore what is in place to protect people.

Her vehicle didnt survive but she did get a free ride to the hospital by our ambulance service.

She'll probably end up driving around some railway barriers and get herself creamed by an express train. Idiots everywhere are falling over each other to do this.

The bigger the item, the slower it looks like it's moving which can surprise people.  I saw a train broadside a large car and send it flying when I was driving to work one morning in San Diego - made me jump!  Turned out to be a stunt done as a demonstration, but I didn't see any police or fire vehicles at the time.  I will say that the car looked like an empty aluminum can being stepped on by an NFL lineman!
 
(FWIW - I'm not sure how my first sentence relates to Bapu.)

It happened on Long Island this week, a woman driving her father to a doctor's appointment drove around the barrier and got hit by a train at 80mph - car exploded on impact and the train pushed this raging fireball into the station where people were waiting on the platforms. There's a video of it.
