Dramatic moment car collides with full-speed train at crossing

This horrifying footage shows the moment a car edged perilously close to a moving train and was smashed to pieces - sending the driver flying into a lamppost.
The bizarre incident saw the vehicle slowly creeping through a closed barrier at a level crossing before bumping into the speeding locomotive.
The early-morning collision immediately sent the car into a dangerous spin which ended with it hitting a lamppost and smashing to pieces.
The tremendous force of the impact threw the driver from the window at Khuan Niang station in Thailand leaving him injured.
CCTV footage of the incident has sparked questions about why the car hit the train, which was travelling from the capital Bangkok to Hat Yai - a city in the country's far south.
Most collisions between vehicles and trains involve drivers ignoring barriers, flashing lights and other warnings before the locomotive arrives.
But this time it was already heading past at full speed when the car struck.
The barrier is said to have been working completely normally before the incident.
Nobody except the driver was injured but the car has been written off with serious damage also caused to the train carriage.
It was part of new rolling stock recently introduced to the line.
The footage has been viewed across the globe after it was uploaded to a page for train enthusiasts on Facebook.
