How horrible! No gate and the railroad signs were obscured by bushes.
Not sure why you would not know there are tracks or how you would miss seeing a train om those tracks even without gates at the crossing
I was thinking it was a distracted driver situation, myself...She may have been distracted by her kids. I have a few friends who've nearly run stop signs and red lights because they had shrieking children they were trying to deal with.
Or she was tired/frazzled/impatient and thought she could beat it.
Or the signs were covered somehow, if the article is correct.
Either way, it's sad.
