Commentary

People often look at train accidents as open-and-shut, considering there's only one way a train is going to go. However, it's always important to be considerate of even unlikely possible contributing factors. That means examining the truck for potential defects, examining the condition of the railroad crossing, making sure sightlines are clear, pulling vehicle data that may show speed and braking leading up to the collision, and preserving any video footage that may have been onboard the truck, the train, or even at a nearby home or business. After all, it's not about jumping to the most likely conclusion. It's about getting the facts so the victim's loved ones at least know they're getting the whole story.
