negligent with respect to speed of the train, then to find the negligent speed a cause of the
collision (accident), you must find that the negligent speed, under the circumstances, (misled
the driver of the car as to the swiftness of the train's approach to the crossing) (prevented the
operator of the train, after seeing danger, from slowing down, stopping, or otherwise
controlling the train to avoid a collision (accident)).
