Officials: SUV in California Train Crash Drove Around Rail
Fire and transit officials say video of a light rail train and sport utility vehicle colliding in Sacramento, Calif., shows that the SUV driver tried to go around the crossing’s guardrail.
King says a freight train had just passed and the guardrail remained down because the light rail train was approaching.
He says the driver of the SUV then tried to go around the arms and the train hit the SUV, pushing it about 30 yards down the track.
