[skidMark]

looks like it got pushed a fair way in one pic you can see the crossing sign way back....

[Kickaha]

Where was it? looks like the bridge on the way to Greymouth from Kumara Junction

[Zed]

And lost, apparently.:doh: looks like something out of S.W.A.T...and WE pay for the damages I suppose!

[cowpoos]

those pics need emailing to the media....I would love to here about the excuses and or reasons????

[Zed]

Now that is a please explain if I ever saw one... interested to see the story behind this ine.

No doubt the cops called the pursuit off just minutes before the fleeing train crashed.Wouldn't it be far more exciting it the patrol car was on it's roof or even on flames!! <--result of watching far too many movies.:woohoo:

[Zed]

Yeah and then KIT (the one from knight rider not bugjuice) comes bursting through the flames doing a jump . and lands heavily somehow not fucking the suspension, and carries on with his little red flashy light thing at the front that goes whur whurOh no, next you'll be mentioning The Hoff, and then this thread will take a whole new direction! :slap:

/thread hijack over.

Meh! 'tis just a fucking car - two too many wheels! Will never have the sheer cool value of a real vehicle. :devil2:

[scumdog]

It's the 'moving block' technique - it was used successfully here to prevent the train from going onto a flood-weakened bridge!!:lol: :killingme

[Posh Tourer :P]

were they trying to stop the train because it had spikes?? I guess that would come under dangerous accessories..... Like the jaguar emblem...

[merv]

You know it was a woman cop driving too eh!! It was reported that she saw the train coming behind in her rear view mirror so she tried to back out the way and ran towards the train and obviously got t-boned in the attempt to get back clear of the track.

As mentioned bridge is over Taramakau river just south of Kumara.

New public safety initiative: Police cars at all level crossings to stop public deaths at these hazardous spots....





Oh sorry, I thought you said 'police cars *on* all level crossings'......

Police officer crossing the street from the local courthouse to the Police station accross the road. Jaywalking accross the road when there is a pedestrian crossing a mere 5 feet away from where this individual was crossing. Now it would appear that the "rules/law" does not apply? Where does that leave society? Looks like the train driver was being harrassed, so what if the HP caught him speeding, bleeding revenue gatherers.:killingme

[erik]

far out. Lucky the train stopped before the bridge, it would've got even messier if the car had been squished through there.
Interesting how the skid mark ends a metre or so before the car.

You guys are just ordinary folk doing heros mork mate.

[Mattyc]

all i can say is FUCK what a muppet, that can go with the collection of pics of the lemon cop who drove down a bank at the targa. someone should start a website of a collection of crashed police cars - thru tardiness

[Sniper]

Bugger that, looks like something a hooligan would do.

Bet the skid marks go further than that!

[avgas]

Bloody hell - how'd they manage that..... who do we have in the force these days, do they even give them driver training anymore.

A train is going to cross your path, do you :
a) Slow down and stop before you meet the train tracks
b) accellerate and hope that you meet the road/tracks intersection before the train does
c) Close your eyes and hope for the best
