In the old rule the defender did not have to have possession for the train wreck to apply - the POE says it is neither INT nor OBS if the defender, runner and ball arrive at the same time. It says nothing about being caught. In fact, it strongly implies it is NOT caught with the follow-on comment about the ball remaining live unless it enters DBT. (POE on Crash Interference)
Now, it seems there can be no such thing - the catch has to happen first or it is OBS.
