I think she and her family pulled a scam.
I don't see how though. For non-pecuniary damages (things like broken bones/pain and suffering sort of thing) the maximum you can sue for is $100 000 give or take a little for inflation. The pecuniary damages would only cover her for loss of income and damage to the car and such. Unless the courts awarded punitary damages to punish the train company.... But that only applies if it's Canadian heh.
Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

i agree
they shouldn't even have their cell phones on them during the exam.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
And, umm... I really doubt anyone would park their car on tracks and stay in it while a train hits it just for a scam. She's very lucky she's alive.
