Imagine if you wanted to deliberately stage this from the moment of both vehicles last stop before the accident.
Imagine how tricky it would be to get each vehicle to arrive at that intersection as they both crossed. The timing of the their individual departure and their speeds would have to be so critical and precise. If one vehicle left a few seconds later or earlier it would not have occurred.

I used to think about this exact thing quite often. My first wife passed away in an auto accident we were in a long time ago. Similar situation. Rural highway in Oklahoma and some lady blew through a stop sign at an intersection. I used to beat myself up thinking what if we hadn't stopped at the last station 30 mins prior or what if we would have stayed to have breakfast with her family?
It's crazy how every thing had to line up to create that event.
