Investigators released surveillance video of a collision between a car and a high-speed passenger train in South Florida, with the driver rushed to the hospital. Authorities say it’s the third collision in four days involving the private rail line.
FILE - In this Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2019 file photo, a Brightline passenger train passes by in Oakland Park, Fla. Brightline trains killed one person and seriously injured another in separate accidents less than 12 hours apart, the latest in a spate of collisions plaguing the higher-speed passenger trains since the railroad recently resumed operations. Tuesday, Feb.
Investigators found none of the deaths were the railroad's fault, determining that many were suicides or drivers or pedestrians trying to beat the trains. The trains travel up to 79 mph through densely populated urban and suburban areas along about 70 miles of track between Miami and West Palm Beach that it shares with the Florida East Coast freight line.
The video shows that the crossing barriers were down and the red lights were flashing when the driver turned from a side street and seemed to purposely go around the gate and into the train's path. The crash split the car in two, according to the railroad. The sheriff's office said a northbound freight train had just cleared the crossing on parallel tracks and the driver may not have seen the southbound Brightline train until it was too late.
