Railroad crossings are inherently dangerous, placing smaller vehicles directly in the path of speeding freight and passenger locomotives. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), over 2,000 train-vehicle collisions have taken place at railroad tracks every year since 2013. About half of these accidents result in serious injuries, with over 230 people killed as a result of the crash.
Car accidents at crossings commonly occur one of two ways: the car is struck on its side by an approaching train, or the car drives into the side of a speeding train. Incidents where cars strike the train are most likely to occur at night, especially if the crossing is not properly lit or does not have functional rail crossing signals.
There were no injuries or deaths in any of these video clips.
