〔自由時報記者傅潮標、張勳騰、林嘉琪／綜合報導〕「我眼睜睜看著最愛的祖母，來不及逃出車外，竟被火車撞死…！」
在加拿大讀大學的22歲青年徐祥勝傷心痛哭，昨天上午他駕駛價值近千萬元的BMW 760Li轎車，載著祖母、祖父、姑姑和外籍看護，到苗栗縣銅鑼鄉九華山參拜，途經銅鑼鄉樟樹村平交道時，車子突然熄火而停在鐵軌上，眼看火車疾駛而來，他和祖父、姑姑及外籍看護，4人及時逃出車外，但高齡已83歲的徐陳泉妹，卻因逃生不及而留在車內，遭火車猛烈撞擊後傷重而亡。
昨天上午9點23分，徐祥勝駕駛自家BMW黑色轎車，被北上108次自強號列車，從汽車左側撞得稀巴爛，強大的撞擊力推擠之下，連平交道的水泥護欄基座都被連根拔起；夾困車內的徐陳泉妹被撞得胸骨粉碎，救出送醫不治，劫後餘生的徐祥勝與趕抵現場的父母抱頭痛哭。
BMW突然熄火 發不動
徐祥勝含淚表示，車子通過平交道時，平交道警鈴還沒響，柵欄也沒有降下（應為遮桿式），但開到鐵軌上，車子卻突然熄火，再也發不動，後座的姑姑趕緊 下車，跑去按平交道緊急按鈕示警，不料，不到1分鐘，火車就已駛近，這時警鈴也開始響起、柵欄逐漸降下；徐的姑姑難過地說，媽媽（指徐陳泉妹）當時坐在副 駕駛座，她想去拉媽媽逃生，卻眼看火車快速逼近，實在來不及救媽媽。
目擊事故的平交道鄧姓保全員也說，BMW進入平交道時，警鈴聲確實還沒響起，並沒有闖平交道，但車輛快通過時卻突然停住，即使警鈴後來響起，這時若能重新發動，還是有足夠時間脫離平交道。
聞緊急鈕 火車已煞不及
依徐祥勝說法，他姑姑按下平交道緊急按鈕，是在平交道警鈴響之前，按理列車應有足夠時間應變，但自強號賴姓駕駛員說，當時時速約108公里，煞車安 全距離約需600公尺，但他收到緊急按鈕通報的訊息時，距平交道已不到200公尺，雖緊急煞車仍來不及；坐在自強號第9車廂的女乘客謝文元證實，撞擊之 前，列車有先煞車，後來感覺列車撞到硬物，列車晃動後停下。
警方對徐祥勝實施酒測，呼氣酒測值是0，檢警正調查肇事原因，釐清究竟是「車子熄火」釀禍，或闖平交道造成？按了警鈴，火車卻未能及時煞車，這部分也要調查。
死者徐陳泉妹與丈夫住在苗栗縣大湖鄉富興村，老夫婦原本務農，但兒子經營建設公司有成，將老家整建成別墅型住宅，供父母安養晚年，平日由外籍看護照顧，休假時，子孫都會從外地返家團圓；鄰居說，老夫妻待人和氣，與鄰居相處愉快，聽到意外，大家都很難過。
台鐵運務處詹鴻漳表示，事發後先拖吊移開事故車輛，並調派三義站電聯車，去接駁自強號的乘客，昨天上午9點34分到12點4分之間，事發後，西部幹 線銅鑼至三義站之間只能單線通車，中午過後才恢復雙向，共影響15班列車，平均每班列車耽誤40分鐘，共影響3380人，台鐵仍在計算硬體及營運損失。

I am one such person with the experience and practical skill to completely take apart car engines and service them. Change gaskets and bearings etc. Put it all back and drive it. I can tell you for sure that you have posted something totally out of the perspective. A moving car stopped and failed to restart this way is very unlikely to be engine oil related. 75% is ignition / fuel injection related. 3% could be electrical system. For BMW, more than 10% is on board computer related. BMW's computerised circuits are so notorious for failures, vomit blood to get parts. Many BMW owners complains I heard are closely related to software bugs / software quality.:p:*:
