The cause will come out eventually, and as MGP said, we can't really start blaming the driver without all the information.
Sympathies go out to all involved

You are absolutely right - I have failed to state my sympathies which should have been my first point in involving myself in the thread. Its a terrible disaster, and to be honest I am sickened when I read of these things.
I was not apportioning blame, the point really is that there should not be unmonitored crossings of ultra high speed rail lines - in the event of an inadvertant stall, breakdown or wilful blockage, there is precious little time or rescource to prevent a catastrophic collision.
