Father and son's bizarre collision

Two trains collided head-on - one being driven by a father and the other by his son.

The bizarre accident took place at Plimmerton, New Zealand. Both men - Bill and Robert Isted - escaped serious injury by flinging themselves from their cabs moments before impact.
