Surveillance video of train accident that killed 5 released

This video, taken by Galaxie Industries, shows a white SUV clearly at a stop for 18 to seconds at the railroad tracks. Within seconds a black sedan could be seen speeding past the stopped vehicle and plowed into the Amtrak train producing a plume of smoke before the train and car came to rest off screen about a mile away.

Because of trees obstructing the intersection, you are not able to see the actual impact.

Crossing gates WERE down, the driver went on the wrong side of the road to go around

[joevil2025]

due to the train footage released it is known that the train hit the idiot in the car who attempted to outrun the train, useless information, not the trains fault, but the car did not infact plow into the train

This is very sad and needless. And yes, it is real. One girl and four boys died instantly. The driver was operating the vehicle with a suspended license at the time of the accident. One seldom wins when facing a train as the opponent........

@crazyfvck there wasnt anything left to do except call 911 cuz those people inn the suv were alredy gone

@Kheldarren 5 people died. Period. The train hit their car at nearly 60mph and they were ripped apart. That point is beyond dispute. Based on the fact that you are trying to argue with you me about it, then I have to assume you are a troll. I am now done talking with you.

@crazyfvck Actually, you're the idiot for believing that 5 people died.

[crazyfvck]

@Kheldarren You're an idiot. 5 people die and all you can say is that the video must be fake?

[crazyfvck]

@tsthost They were probably in shock. I think I would have driven off too if I had just seen that.

looks like they used a toaster to film this. They were too poor to afford a camera

I see all the dislikes. I hope you dream of this video. I hope it haunts you. I hope when you approach flashing lights at a crossing you recall this and keep your foot on the break properly. I hope if you are riding with someone who is about to try this you puch the fucker as fast and as hard as you can. They may stop or may not,if not at least you get your opinion in before you die.
