I'll give you 3 guesses of where the fatality was and the first two don't count.
Sheesh. There is a reason why they have signs saying "DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS" even though I'd think it is common sense. Trains do not stop on a dime, especially one traveling at 79 miles per hour.
The math is simple, Train vs. car - the car will always lose (unless it is a model train).
It's sad that the guy died, but what a dumbass.
Yes, traffic can be bad in this location (I went though there today and I must have just missed it since I went though there about 9:30 also) but come on, if you cannot get all the way across, then DON'T FO ON THE TRACKS.
Edit: Some of the comments are hilarious.
