Train crash in summer of 1961 at unmanned level crossing in Bedfordshire. Anyone remember it?

Question

I was on this train - Bletchley to Bedford - and although I can still remember it well - I would like to know what happened to the occupants of the vehicle (2 people, I think). It was a sunny Sunday afternoon and I was in the front seat of the train. No-one was injured on the train - just a bit shocked as the train came off the rails. Hope someone can help me as I can find nothing on the web sites

Go to the local library and search the newspapers.  If they printed the names of the car riders you can trace them.
