I doubt anybody goes to work planning to cross an active runway without clearance, potentially endangering lives.
I'd gently suggest that it would be useful to try and ascertain these factors and perhaps reduce the risk of it happening again, instead of applying the "no excuses, pilot to blame" strategy, attractive though it seems.
Modern world wants to hang people for any infraction, whilst also never being able to entertain the concept that they personally ever make mistakes.
