The LRT is not going 130 km/h. The train took a long time to stop in the posted video.

But both are caused by, generally, people trying to beat the train. Thankfully our LRT can stop more easily so it makes few collissions, but when it's crashes it is because it couldn't stop either.

The point I was making is that it is indeed due to level grade crossings. With those, trains and cars hit each other. Streetlevel crossings always mean you'll have to deal with it. Thankfully we so far haven't had anyone more die apart from the individual on foot which would have resulted in more deadlier direct impact, but either way we're always going to be hitting cars now.
