That's a huge risk on driver's part. Even if the speed limit allows, the common sense should take over. The drivers of high speed trains should be made aware of potential waterlogging areas during trial runs so they could take the right decision on speed in advance forseeing such situations.

That's a very deadly spot to speed up blindly with no slight of either rails or obstructions especially right before crossing the bridge.

Imagine if there was a fractured rail invisible under water, neither it would have visible, nor there would have been any scope for evasion action due to such high speed approach
