Only in Norfolk could you be involved in a road-traffic accident with this:
It's a 1912 Y14 steam locomotive. Quite impressive.
And while the locomotive was far from wrecked, there will be some serious buffing out of the Mercedes A-Class that it was in collision with:
Nobody was injured. The BBC News story is here.
The train was travelling at 8mph at the time, we don't know the speed of the car but its driver was heading to the golf club and seems to have missed the fact that the level crossing lights and sirens were active at the time.
His insurance claim is going to make interesting reading and his insurance company will presumably have to cover any damage to the loco - good job it wasn't a new one.
