  1. People in Florida especially seem to have difficulty with rail crossings.

  2. The train crashed into it? How???

  3. SUV driver’s fault 100%

  4. You can't outrun a fast moving train. You will lose.

  5. You make it sound like the train
    Deliberately crashed into the vehicle!

  6. Final Destination deaths crazy 😢😢😢

  7. Cops are happy this happened. They see it as more criminals off the streets. Because if you're not a cop….. you're a criminal. The only lives they care about are blue lives.

  8. The thing about railroad tracks is they're for trains. Look twice,save your life.

  9. "Train crashes into suv" 😞

  10. Man… this is truly sad

  11. I find it strange the mail delivery person is able to avoid the trains day in and day out. Probably have a drivers license and English speaking.

  12. Imagine if this 3rd world trash would have stayed in their own country, they would be alive today…

  13. Tragic! My heart goes out to the family. I hope the rest of the family is able to recover. Whoever privately owns the road should be sued penniless.

  14. I want to see what the suv looks like. Post pics!!!!!

  15. >>>>>>>> Increase Your Satisfaction … By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC

  16. Why isn't this being called a mass casualty crash, the same way anytime multiple people are shot it's called a "mass shooting?" 🤔

  17. The RR crossing was clearly marked. If you have a drivers license, you take RESPONSIBILITY for the car, those in it, and pay attention to highway and railroad signs. If you "don't" have a drivers license, it's still on you. Put the blame where it belongs – on the driver to decided to take the chance.

  18. Stupid headline as a train is stuck on a track so the vehicle had to drive in front of it

  19. your title has a dreadful victim blaming attitude to it.

    Humanise cars, dehumanise and victm blame cyclists, pedetrians, trains…

    gross

  20. Unless there was just an unfortunate car malfunction, my bet is the driver was either way too distracted or under the influence. Condolences to the extended family and loved ones. What a tragedy.

  21. Bunch of illegals probably..WHO CARES.. SHOULDN'T OF BEEN HERE ILLEGALLY

  22. A train at the speed of 55 mph can be avoided if you are at a safe distance. How close was this train and car before collision? Also there should absolutely be guardrails and signals at EVERY crossing. If the driver slowed down is because he probably felt the tracks beneath him but completely missed the train that came out of nowhere. Rest in peace to the families involved.

  23. I'd say that Hillsboro needs to take Bidens infrastructure money and fix their RR crossings.

  24. Safety devices are not required he says..

  25. Sure, blame it on the train. Maybe the train should’ve just stopped and let them pass…. Don’t blame the driver. Noooooo that would be waaayyyysist.

  26. The driver is so dumb poor kids

  27. All railroad crosses must have a bridge

  28. The correct way of saying this story is "the SUV ignored the stop sign and tried crossing the tracks in front of an oncoming train – and lost."

  29. I uhhhh…. I wouldn't say a train crashes into a vehicle…. more like a vehicle went to the only place a train can go 🗿

  30. The driver raced a train and lost.

  31. Hopefully they're not illegals.

  32. It's like I've always said- "some people make waaaay too big of a deal over 15 year old girls' birthday parties."
