Metro-North hits car in Valhalla. 6 dead.

Apparently the fact that the crossing lights & bells activated, and then the crossing gates lowering REALLY confused her? Not to mention that she got out of her vehicle, checked to see if the lowered crossing gate did any damage to her vehicle, then got back into her vehicle while the man behind her was yelling at her!

Give me a break.

It's a very sad story but I don't understand why it even happened. The lights start flashing and the bell starts ringing before the gates go down. Even if she crossed before they went off why would you enter the crossing if there isn't enough room to clear it, it's the same as a normal intersection. This was an unfortunate and unnecessary loss of life. 

Given the state set aside money 5 years ago to improve the crossing and didn't do it pretty much guarantees a win for the family attorney.  

Funny how all I ever needed was crossbucks. No lights, no gates, not even a close call.

If anything, the Metro families should sue a certain personal estate.
