Tragic.
Such a very common sense thing to do, but apparently some are too impatient to take three seconds to have a look around to evaluate conditions at the intersection to see if it is safe to proceed. Common sense is not so common it seems, and there are those who have the misfortune of being born without it. But if they are still intent on playing chicken with a 10,000 lb dump truck or bus at the intersection, well there's not much more anyone can do about it except let Darwin take its course.
