Trains sometimes crash into each other. It isn't common, but it happens

Actually in my city a tram crashed on another tram literally two days ago. Also train hitting trains is a thing. But yes, trams and trains crashing into trams and trains because the tram/train driver's action sure is near zero compared to the number of trams crashing into cars because of the car driver's action.

Edit: so today another crash happened here, must be a shitty week for whoever insures these people:
