"They allegedly ignored a warning from the driver of a passing goods train that hit them."

Sounds like the train was 'piloted' by Ted Striker.

Shouldn't 'Bonking' be 'Boinking' ?

Trains can't brake in that distance. It takes several miles for a train going 60MPH to brake, IIRC. (We do have a finnish train engineer on Poly, by the way, you could always ask him...)

"Bonking" is what I do to the fish I catch, if I want to eat it

I smash its head with a club until it dies - bonk, bonk, bonk! What did you think I meant? Anyway, the end result will be the same as in the news story, a bloody mess splattering all over.
