Hate to say it, but it was gonna happen eventually. People love challenging the trains on this intersection, hope everyone is alright

Eventually? This isn't the first time this has happened

Yea. Same by Shop Rite. Feels like every 2-3 years it happens.

I feel like it’s more often than that.

Quite possible. I might have been too conservative.

Shit…I’ve been hit twice this year by light rail. They practically come out nowhere.

Edit: guys. I’m totally serious. You can tell as I’m using my ‘I’m totally serious’ writing style.

In this one and in other interceptions too. I go running 8m most days to LSP and I can't remember the number of times the trains have to stop cause idiots in cars stop right on the rails. Usually on rush hour when cars queue from the lights at the hospital. I am surprised this doesn't happen more often.

This is the same intersection that some body parts were seen back in the summer? Any updates on that incident, was the man dead before being hit?

Yes it is! The reporters said there were limbs and body parts already on the tracks when the train ran them over.

Drove past this around 6PM. I had a green light while the LR was directly under it again.

So that’s why there were about 100 people waiting at the exchange place station. Anyone know what happened?

Don't quote me on this but, looked like the train hit the car, since the impact was on that side

Car had to run the light. The train triggers the light. There’d have to be a few simultaneous failures for the light to be green and the train to be in the “wrong”.

At that crossing, driver would also had to be blind to not notice the light rail.

Most likely blindly following traffic that was a decent distance ahead. People see cars moving 1000 feet away and forget there are two or three lights in that distance in some places.

Got to the train at 8 pm at exchange place, it was a bit delayed but otherwise back to normal. I fortunately have the option to take the ferry and walk 10 min to home.

Still no peer to the jersey avenue SUV post from a few months ago. That was winning.
