This was truly a horrible smash mate. I bet it cost more money than it would have to put a bridge or tunnel there, although I see that farm roads also cross the tracks at various intervals.
Another thing they can do is make sure an emergency telephone number is displayed on sign boards at all level crossings so that if a vehicle gets stuck on the tracks, the driver can call the number and warn the authorities who in turn will shut down the route. I'm sure this is possible with today's technology.
