Trains are small and easy to miss. So I can understand him not spotting the train until it was too late. They should put some sort of sound device on trains so they could make some sort of loud noise as they're arriving. Also, they should put up some sort of signal by the rail crossing, so people would know that a train is coming. Trains are so hard to spot, so easy to miss.
Go check 1:50 again and tell me what you saw and what you heard. It was loud so missing it would be a bad excuse. Also train light was red and the track was closed from his direction but he drove right into it and into the train nonderless.

Really want to know how the driver managed to miss the red lights, gates, and horn, and then ultimately hit the train… how mentally f*cked was that driver?!
Yes, but breaks and brakes are very different things: Brake: A device that slows down cars (or trains), which this guy did not use in time. Break: What happens to your Tahoe when you drive it into a train. The car is now broken, and will no longer be able to drive.
When I was a kid I would bump my leg on a table, etc. Then I would hit it for hitting me!😂 My grandmother said oh! The table jumped out and hit you, huh?! You didn't run into it? It hit you.😊
I worked as a freight conductor for 21 years....I hired in 1994....train vs car accidents happened but not nearly as much as today....the end of my career was about 1 every 3 months....how do you get hit by a train or semi is beyond me!!!
1:42 Straight up looks like a scene from Fast & Furious or smth 🔥 Insane luck to sit right where it hit the train..and filming at the same time :) Great capture! Would have loved the dashcam footage of the truck too...
For losing the brakes and trying to turn away to avoid hitting right against the train? Maybe if the driver neglects the car's maintenance, then it would be the case.
Almost as stupid as Greg Plitt, the fitness/ bodybuilding guru who was killed running on the railroad tracks trying to outrun a train to demonstrate his brawn.
I Hope He does get a Darwin award For ignoring the Train's Horn And Railroad crossing and You can see the railroad crossing had it's gates closed so the driver should be blamed for the accident this is why You should not attempt to beat a train at a railroad crossing
I’m just grateful that the ‘burb didn’t hit head on and seriously injure anyone or derail the train. On another note, the odds that the rail fan was sitting in the right car, at the right time, facing the right way and filming to capture that is craaaaazy!!
@@ianmcginnis5734 Yes, there absolutely is… if a full-sized SUV (low speed 6,000Ib missile) hits an object at full speed that only has footing on two RAILS that is connected to several other objects that only have footing on two rails, there’s a 110% chance that it could derail it. I’m not talking about a catastrophic accident that knocks the train off the rails entirely, several people die & there’s flames everywhere like a Michael Bay movie … I’m more talking about something like a wheel hopping off the track, maybe one end of the car gets knocked off, or considerable damage to the car where someone’s sitting. Is there an undeniable, fool-proof chance that it WOULD happen? Meh… there’s a lot of forward momentum on a super heavy string of objects at high speeds. But, there’s plenty of ways that it COULD happen (we don’t know if theres a piece of debris large enough to lodge itself under the wheel of the car(s), hit it right at the trucks, gradients/curvature, track quality, etc.). Many factors go into derailments, serious or not, and a side-on collision from an SUV is kindaaaa sketchy…
That's the same equipment I ran out of Tacoma and Everett. I can tell you that those Bombardier coaches can take some pretty good hits short of a head on.

Wow...there's no grade crossings on the route I ride daily here in NJ but good to know the Bombardier cars can get t-boned by a Suburban going 60mph and only get scuffed. Some NJT routes do have crossings, and our versions of these cars are stainless, so you just need some Brillo and that's good to go I guess.

If you saw how the TRE was these days, the driver of the SUV likely was the one that got paid. TRE is is rough shape and in serious need of updating, but they rarely fix anything.
Wow! I've ridden the TRE countless times and have only once had an issue, thought what it was I don't know. They made everyone get off the train at the exact station at the end of the video, and our train sat there forever. I had to get an Uber for my wife and I if I recall correctly. Love the TRE still!
Driver:Ok I need to figure out how to magically go through this train Every self-defense channel ever: squeeze your thumbs together and you’ll be able to transport through anything Driver: OK let’s try this Loses control *Dies* Driver: nailed it No pun intended
He did try to stop his car at first, you can see the nose dive at 1:44. He realized he wasnt going to be able to slow significantly (looks like he was going pretty fast) and let off the brakes and swerved to his right instead. Swerving was probably a good choice, made it more of a glancing blow; but he should have kept the brakes on and trusted his ABS to allow him to steer.
Great video. People need to be smart at railroad crossings! And not driving drunk is a big part of staying safe and, most importantly, keeping others safe!
I'm just seeing this as well on 11/26/23. I noticed the vehicle surge 3 times beginning as he passed the driveway. I'm guessing ABS was kicking in as he slammed the brake pedal.
Considering how the USA has among the biggest, loudest and slowest trains in the world it's frankly a miracle they ever get hit and yet it happens all the time...
There’s a new billboard in town here that says a train hits a car every three hours! Incredible that there are this many stupid people in our country. Take their licenses away please.
This was intentional. Edit. You can see him going around the gate, thinking that there isn't a gate for the oncoming traffic. So he could see the gates down, and the train.
Half a second too late to get what he actually was trying to get, perhaps. Yes, I know he was drunk, but getting drunk is not uncommon when people try to work up courage for the big goodbye.
That’s absolutely crazy! The same thing happened to me when 90208 struck a folklift! Started off as just simply filming the ride up and 573 ran directly into it! But anyways, very glad that the guy survived without being killed on the scene!
I used to work for a state DOT and had access to the state's crash database. A surprising amount of vehicle-train crashes I saw (I think close to half) were actually of the vehicle hitting the train (on the side like this), rather than the train hitting a vehicle in front of it (stalled or trying to beat the train).
Yes, I can imagine a car hitting a train inside the train, but it would take Christopher Nolan to make a movie scene of that idea. At least unless the train inside the train that I'm supposed to imagine is an HO scale model or something.
That dumb Suburban driver! Thankfully the Bombardier Bi-Level cab car coach didn’t got hit in the front, but did left a little scratch or half damage on it, even the left side of the gate got both bended and broke off too.
The fact that that SUV bounced right off that car like a ping pong ball and all the passenger of the train got was a sway in the car.. ..insane.. he didn't even feel it.
Years ago as a fireman EMT we had a patient who thought the ICG railroad track was a road! So he was driving down the road and got rear ended by a freight train! He survived.
A couple of years old but new to me, I hope you got enough donations for a couple of new pairs of jeans (and associated accessories)! Right place, right time, and excellent camera work holding the shot pretty still having been about 1 foot away from getting hit by the SUV. Thanks for sharing, we're North Texas and ride TRE Fort Worth to Dallas now and then for a visit. No such excitement for us yet, but don't really need to see that first hand!
Our old neighborhood has tracks across the entrance. A KCS freight was coming fast, on the horn when a drunk driver ran into the train. But, he didn't bounce off. He got snagged. The signals at the crossing sit on high concrete stands. The train dragged his vehicle along and between the train and the concrete stands. It pulled him through crushing the vehicle and then spit the vehicle and him out in the drainage ditch along the tracks. His car was so crushed that they had to cut him out. The drunk driver passed away at the hospital.

Thanks for sharing, we're North Texas and ride TRE Fort Worth to Dallas now and then for a visit. No such excitement for us yet, but don't really need to see that first hand!
Dude recording has a lot of trust in that glass. He didn’t even flinch
I’m flummoxed. Gates were down. Lights were flashing. Was the SUV driver texting? Medical episode? Or just plain stupid?
SUV owner calling insurance agent: Hi.
Insurance agent: Bye.
What are the chances the car hits the exact window a guy is filiming. Glad the train passengers are fine.
Ming Lee (Red Panda): "Ouch. That took a hit on that white SUV."
Driver - Man that train just jumped right out in front of me !
Train - Uhhhh , did you not see the lights , Gates , and TRAIN !?
I like how he crashed right into the car where the other guy was recording xD
Our old neighborhood has tracks across the entrance. A KCS freight was coming fast, on the horn when a drunk driver ran into the train. But, he didn't bounce off. He got snagged. The signals at the crossing sit on high concrete stands. The train dragged his vehicle along and between the train and the concrete stands. It pulled him through crushing the vehicle and then spit the vehicle and him out in the drainage ditch along the tracks. His car was so crushed that they had to cut him out. The drunk driver passed away at the hospital.
Wow thats wild to have had that recording good job camera man.
