Answer 1

А. Ты слышал об крушении поезда на прошлой недели?
В. Да, ужасно, не так ли? Десять людей убиты! Они говорят, что если бы ж/д оператор быстрее отреагировал, поезд был бы остановлен, прежде чем он достиг пересечения. (reactеd, stoped) 
А. Хорошо, это была вина водителя грузовика, в конце концов.Там не был бы несчастный случай , если бы он не сломался на переезде.  (not was, not broke down)    
В. В  газетах говорят , что если бы водитель позвонил связисту, чтобы дать ему знать, связист остановил бы поезд  до тех пор, пока грузовик не двинулся. И потом аварии бы не произошло совсем.  (telephoned,not happened  ) 
A. Если бы я был водителем я бы не пытался пересечь на этом уровне пересечения в любом случае. Я бы отправился в Глостер и пересек железнодорожный мост.(If I was the lorry-driver I not tryed to cross at that level crossing anyway. I drove to Gloucester and crossed the railway by the bridge. )
В.  Ну, мы тут ничего не можем поделать сейчас. Но эти десять человек не умерли бы , если бы  водитель грузовика был  осторожнее.   
Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. But those ten people not died if the lorry driver was more careful.)))

Answer 2

A: Did you hear about that train crash last week? B: Yes, terrible, wasn't it? Ten people killed! They say that if the train operator had reacted more quickly, the train would have stopped before it reached the level crossing. A: Well, it was the lorry driver's fault, after all. There wouldn't have been an accident if the lorry hadn't broken down on the level crossing. B: It says in the paper that if the driver had telephoned the signalman to let him know, the signalman would have stopped the train until the lorry had been moved. Then the accident wouldn't have happened at all. A: If I had been the lorry driver, I wouldn't have tried to cross at that level crossing anyway. I would have driven to Gloucester and crossed the railway by the bridge. B: Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. But those ten people wouldn't have died if the lorry driver had been more careful.
