three Houston teens who tried to get through the railroad crossing before the train came through. Now, even the JP has skirted dangerously close to running red lights. It happens. Part of driving. When we're talking about literal freight trains though, something one would call an NFL middle linebacker to imply that he's tougher than just calling him an NFL middle linebacker, you can't be too careful.
Witnesses told detectives that the driver went to extreme measures to try to beat the train.
"According to witnesses, as well as the engineer on the train, the driver of the vehicle disregarded the railroad warnings and went through the railroad arms," Coleman said.
The train hit the passenger side of the car and pushed it about 2,000 feet down the tracks before the car caught fire.
Don't worry though: The train was just fine.
The 66 passengers on board the train had no idea what had happened.
"None of them saw anything, heard anything or felt anything," Coleman said.
None of the passengers or crew on board the train was injured.
