Crash at Level Crossing Leaves Man in Coma (Video)

A motorist was left in a coma after a train collided with his car at a level crossing in the Moscow region.

The video indicates that the level crossing's barrier were not working and cars continued crossing right up until the crash took place.

The train continued to push the car along the tracks, coming to a stop at the platform at Scherbinka, 8-kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road.

Rescue workers struggled to dislodge the vehicle from the tracks.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
