Summary

Description
English: Photo of the steering wheel of a 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 with the shifter highlighted and insetted, taken by staff of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board for its investigation of the 2015 Valhalla train crash in Westchester County, New York. It had been theorized that the driver of a similar vehicle had gotten confused about the shifter's operation, resulting in her driving forward into the path of a Metro-North Harlem Line train at a grade crossing, rather than reversing out of the way.
