We seem to have an obsession nowadays with not saying things as they are and obsessive political correctness. Good manners says we shouldn't be offensive but sadly some people take offence to absolutely anything and we are forced to pander to this ridiculousness.
As to the "Person struck by train" perhaps a little more information would actually better help put the desired message across, for example "Person jumped in front of train in another botched suicide attempt and yet again has survived but been horribly maimed." Stark, but might just put a few people off.
The thing that really gets me however is that the selfish perpetrator has absolutely no consideration for the effect it has on others not least the poor driver.
