"Cyclist killed in Nottinghamshire level crossing crash"
Misleading heading that implies (victim) cyclist cycled through level crossing when not safe or as train approaches and reason for crash.
So how about?:
>Driver crashes into cyclist on level crossing<
Racing through at speed at level crossings, before the lights change, is a constant feature of impatient drivers - this is probably the case here.

Nobody has been charged for that incident. If they had have been I would imagine it would be a comments closed article.
