The video has collected over 10.3 million views on Twitter with an array of reactions from social media users. A user commented, "If that phone were so smart it would have warned her. But seriously why are there not a bunch of loud sounds going off if you are approaching something too closely at high speed? Obviously, she should have been paying attention but today's technology could have helped."

Another user joked, "Driver will lawyer up. And claim no one told her she couldn't text and drive. Just wait..."

The third user wrote, "Why don't such trains have radar-based breaking feature."

"Trains aren't able to stop that quickly. Being busy with smartphones has nothing to do with it. If a train is stopped on track & can only be seen visually, being attentive won't help the train captain. It would collide anyways."
