Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train.
Nighttime dashcam footage from earlier this month in Ohio captured the harrowing scene: Doty’s Tesla rapidly approaching a train with no apparent deceleration. He insisted his Tesla was in Full Self-Driving mode when it barreled towards the train crossing without slowing down.
This picture does not look like what happens to a car when it is hit by a train
Because it didn’t get hit by a train. Driver steer the car away from the passing train and hit a stop light.
“It wasn’t in self driving mode at the time of the accident.”
Probably technically true. He had to steer it away from the train.
Can’t view, got a link?

That might explain why the title says “nearly”
It’s what happens when the driver swerves into the crossing arm pole to not hit the train in front of it.
