Train Accidents Are Not Uncommon
Accidents involving passenger and rail trains are not uncommon. In some situations, they occur when a driver or pedestrian believes they can beat the train and jump over the tracks. Other times, the driver of a vehicle may not see the train coming, and without any warning lights or a blockage, the driver could drive right in front of the train.
There are no details about what took place here. The person who died is not believed to have been in a vehicle at the time of the accident, but that information has not yet been released. A full investigation here could be critical to help police and family members get to the bottom of what happened.
