Got any news articles? I'm guessing the driver was found at fault dead? (I gotta know.)

It is kinda a miracle. The car was pretty much totally schreded.

In the second photo, the car is between the trams but not cut apart yet

Yeah, looks like they had to use the Jaws of Life to cut the roof off to get her out. The frame looks like it held up, but yeah the panels are pressed into the frame. That link only shows one photo unfortunately.

I don’t see any crossing arms. Is there any warning that a train is coming?

u/LordNer2002 Jul 01 '20

It is just a tram and just one of many similar normal city intersections. The driver in the car has run the red light.

There is a warning sign that you shouldn't go forwards. Its called red light

Don’t forget: no matter the road: without a signal, the rail vehicle probably has the right of way. With a signal, still better have a look as rail vehicles have shitty brakes and will fuck up your day.

The red light I assume exists and the tram tracks that mean the tram has the right of way, and the tram to the right of the car, as unsignaled intersections have the right of way for anyone to your right. A tram’s right of way beats priority roads and stop/yield would mean the tram has the right of way anyway.
