A frightening collision in La Marque, Texas left two people injured after a train struck and dragged an SUV from a crossing. The incident is a sobering reminder of how dangerous rail crossings can be — and how serious the resulting injuries often are.
Why Train Accidents Are Different
Train collisions involve enormous forces, multiple potentially responsible parties — railroads, crossing maintenance contractors, municipalities — and federal regulations that most drivers never encounter. Determining whether crossing signals worked, sight lines were clear, and the train crew acted properly requires immediate, specialized investigation.
If You Are Hurt at a Rail Crossing
- Get medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor
- Photograph the crossing, signals, and vehicle positions if you safely can
- Do not give recorded statements to railroad representatives
- Contact an attorney quickly — railroads dispatch investigators within hours
