(15
April 2001, Tennessee) The day before the US tax filing deadline, a Memphis
Darwin Award winner trying to beat a train drove around the crossing gates --
only to be struck by an oncoming vehicle whose driver had the same mad plan.
The
occupants of one vehicle were killed, making this monumental stupidity the first
instance we have witnessed of a Darwin Award winner crashing into an Honourable
Mention. The accident happened to one side of the tracks, so the train passed by
unimpeded.
