This just happened yesterday in Hong Kong by a day-dreaming driver I suppose... Before you ask, yes, it's very stuck

story is the driver totally day-dreamed and ignored the warning sign, fell into the "trap", and the momentum carried the car for another 60 ft. by then the car was so perfectly centered there was absolutely nothing the driver could do except blocking all tram services until tow truck came and pulled it out.

there was even a picture of the driver, that was funny.

LS400 driver.
"See what happens when using a cell phone while driving."

At that mention, what laws are there in HK regarding cell phone use while driving?
