A BMW driver in Russia recently wrecked the front end of their 7 Series while trying to rush through a railway crossing.

Not only was this crash expensive, it looked pretty embarrassing too. As the safety barrier at the railway crossing is raised, a guardrail on the road started also stars rising and one onlooker even stands on it attempting to lower it back down.

Sadly for the Bmer driver in question, the guardrail on the road was out of their line of sight as they started moving off and they drove straight into it causing serious damage to the front right wheel arch.

It then takes a digger and half the local village to free the 7 Series from the guardrail. At least it will teach the driver a lesson in moving off before the railway crossing lights go out…
