Train smashes into tree at 90mph

A train driver miraculously avoided serious injury after smashing into a tree at 90mph in the UK.

He suffered cuts, bruises and two fractures to his wrist when the London to Penzance train hit a tree in Wiltshire.

In another story of this same incident, it claimed the train hit the tree at 110mph, while the driver (Supposedly) hid behind his seat.

All I care is, that the driver Miraculously escaped death.

Different outcome if that had been AM instead of PM, not a hope at 125mph in the dark. Driver wouldnt have known a thing about it and most likely took the roof off as well.
