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. Full story: http://swns.com/amazing-picture-reve...ee-141204.html

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.
