im 81 years old and have never forgotten what i was taught learning to drive when it comes to railroad crossings. STOP LOOK LISTEN. there afamily this person wont be going back home to tonight only because he or she did not do those 3 things. theres another tragedy here also and that is theres a train crew here that will have to live the rest of their lives with this embedded in their minds
You always stop at a RR crossing with no lighted gates. I feel sorry for the engine and conductor knowing there was nothing they could do to avoid hitting him
The condition of the tracks would tell you if there is a lot of trains using it. Shiney tracks mean lots of trains. Rusted tracks little or no trains. Drivers need to pay attention. and live to tell about it. This driver didn't.
Driver Inattentiveness is still the # 1 Reason and 90% of ALL Traffic Accidents according to Retired MO State Highway Patrol Spokesperson, Al Nothum. 🙏
When you cross train tracks you are crossing private property. It is not the responsibility of the train to slow down, it is the drivers SOLE responsibility to stop and LOOK. The man was in his 60's, he knew what to do. 99.9% of fatalities at railroad crossings are of no fault of the railroad and trains should not have to slow down because of careless dumb drivers. The RR should sue the family for damages.
Estados Unidos devem envestir em cancelas eletrônicas que fecham automaticamente assim que os trens se aproximan .no Brasil ja existe e ajudou a diminuir os acidentes que aconteciam com frequência..ai na América e todo dia tem muintos trens de cargas..tem que ter cancela eletronica..
See the sign? This was a private crossing, not a public road. Besides, railroads don't install crossing gates, the government does. Railroads maintain them once they are in.
Obeying traffic signs is not a joke ignoring traffic signs is not a joke ...it's lunacy.i see crossbucks and a stop sign anthem rr crossing Nothing wrong with the rr.

Feel sorry for all involved , you jerk!
Everyone think railroad tracks are abandoned that you don’t stop and look anymore. These are all preventable.
Lots of over the road truck drivers think that.

unbelivable
Sadly it happens all too often.

Just love the 'railroad's fault" comments.
I'm guessing one train cleared and he got hit by the second train.
Rest in peace. Unfortunate accident.
I have never understood why someone gets killed at RR crossings. I live around unarmed tracks and always slow and look both ways.
Trains approaching crossings should not exceed 30mph, this would cut down on these situations
you are jokeing right? the train would take 6 months to cross the country.
Your joking, right? That was a loaded oil sands train, it would take another mile at least for it to stop.

No you look both ways before crossing! Duh!!

Billion dollar railroads can’t afford signals at crossing. What a freaking joke.
Nah, the joke is, or was, the dumb I mean dump truck driver who can't look both ways.
