082804 RIVER PLANTATION AUTO VS TRAIN FATAL

Anyone else notice the BOOMER speakers in the trunk ? You can bet he had the music cranked and didn't hear the train .

[@liberalslayer9831]

Yep. There are a lot of idiots around that blare their music thinking we all want to hear it.

[@floridamarinemom1749]

Well of course, plus the one guy mentions them in the video. Doesn't matter that much if he didn't hear it, he had to have seen the crossing gate that he had to go around and the other car he had to go around. For sure if the gate is down and other cars are stopped one would look to see if a train was coming and how far away it was so he had to have seen it too. He just thought that he could beat it. He broke his momma's heart for sure. She'll never be the same

I had a great uncle who was hit by a train in 7/1963. He came to a crossing with lights working. It was pouring rain. Lady behind him thought he didn’t see the train due to the heavy rain. He was pushed down the tracks quite a distance. Left 7 kids behind.

[@edwinajohnson2963]

A friend of mines lost three children ages 17 11 and 2 plus her 19 yr old nephew when the 17 yr old tried to beat a Amtrak. The vibrations caused the car to stall directly on the track. The impact crushed the car like a soda can. As they were working to remove the bodies the mom showed up at the crash site. Once confirmed that three body's were in the vehicle she kept telling them that her 2 yr old was in the car when it was hit. After searching they did locate the 2 yr old body. She was face down in a ditch some hundred yards away from the impact.

Retired locomotive engineer here and Operation Lifesaver volunteer presenter. I have seen this too often in my career. Well, he won't do that again. Tried to beat the train and lost. Sad for the family who he left behind, but he got what he asked for. Crossing was fully protected with red lights and gates. Crossing protected with red lights and gates is where the majority of these grade crossing accidents happen. Impatience, negligence and recklessness often times is a sure killer at railroad crossings at grade.

I’m watching these videos at age 56 because I don’t want to get complacent and make a stupid decision and hurt someone else. I’m also sending these to my kids who think it won’t happen to them. My Sister n laws sister died from being hit by an Amtrak in 1996, she was the passenger, her high school boyfriend was driving. Whenever we see the crosses at the track, it’s a reminder of that.
