Pardon, est-il possible pour une traduction du français vers l'anglais?

The gist: They think the lorry driver went through the red lights/bells and then got trapped by the barriers (so witnesses say). Train Express Regionale (TER) was doing 140 kph (line speed) en route Rennes-St Malo. Driver hit emergency braking then went back to join pass. lying down in the corridor (sensible man!). They reckon it struck at about 100-110. Unfortunately 2 dead and 35 injured, of which half a dozen seriously. Coincidentally (?) same thing happened 3 or 4 years ago same place. Truck driver got 3 months.
