Malfunctioning Train Gate Turns Driving Into ‘Crash Bandicoot’

Over here, we’re pretty critical of those who ignore train gates. This is the exception.

In recent months, we’ve seen countless people get their cars wrecked after trying to beat a train through the gate. This is always a bit confusing — there’s a gate right there! Do you really think it’s a smart idea to try to drive around it?

In this case, however, I understand the confusion.

Something went wrong at these gates that caused them to flail up and down, leaving drivers with scant few seconds to actually make a crossing through them. While some made it through, others had their cars unceremoniously bonked.
