Those train stations, they just beckon 'em.

The driver clearly crashed through this wall:

Park Road doesn't exactly look like a high-speed approach, but maybe it was the not uncommon case of accidentally pressing down on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. 'No patient to treat' may mean that the driver wasn't injured or that they made off. Interesting that a similar crash apparently happened there not so long ago. I can't easily find anything about that, though.
Did you take those pictures, @c*j*f ? I see they're used on numerous news sites, or did you get them from there?
