new details tonight about a train accident we first told you doing are 4
o'clock newscast take a look from a CBS Atlanta sky
you can see the accident total that red car
it all happen this afternoon where highway 92 and Moseley Road cross over
train tracks in Douglasville
CBS about a stick against joins us from the train crossing tonight
Steve is this accident and isolated event
you know Stephanie it's really not in the driver that vehicle was thankfully
able to get
out of her car with plenty of time to spare before the train came along
another problem
maybe the way that the asphalt was late is about a6 inch drop between the
surface to the road
and the railroad ties neighbors here say callers get stuck there a lot
it was is like up boo
yes creatine and then when it we down the tracks with it was
of Beverly woods and her husband Robert had a front-row seat to this
recommend afternoon she's an elderly lady you know she
no I yesterday that's right a
am but that's what happens she ran up to fall here
and she gets to from CBS Alanna sky are you can see what's left of this car
after an oncoming train smashed into it locomotive push the vehicle 1,000 feet
before finally stopping
the driver was able to get out of the car before the collision
neighbor say cars got stuck on the tracks all too often
we mean having truckers get stuck out here a
be here cookin stuck on the tracks I'll out here
about the maybe 45 people we help attract
Broad Street and possibly road is Douglas bills most accident-prone
railroad crossing
apart from several collisions in the past year urban 22 documented instanceof
cars
getting stuck on the tracks Norfolk Southern repaid the crossing
the lead to considerable drop off instead of a tapering slope
jeeda restraint the road words doesn't think that's enough to keep drivers on
the road
no matter how much in we're going to I thing is just
people not aware you know the how far to turn
Beverly would rather see the crossing shut down before someone
get seriously hurt I think they should close it up if I was to see somebody get
your time probably
down myself
now we are still waiting to hear back from Norfolk Southern to see if they
have any plans to make
improvements at this crossing to try and minimise collisions
we're live in Douglasville stick against CBS 11 News
