Sounds like the driver wasn’t so ‘bright’.

It's a good thing the train wasn't hunting down victims at the time.

A stray gun might have shot her.

Yup trains ruin lives.

My father lost his father, grandfather and great grandfather in a train / car wreck rushing home to make it to Thanksgiving dinner on time.

preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle had pulled under the crossing arm prior to the crash

Those Brightline trains go pretty fast at times, much faster than lumbering freight trains so there's not much time to cheat around barriers.

Brightline runs through my town, and it kills people all the time. I think they want to die.

Well, there you have it. Only an idiot would do such a stupid thing.

Going under a downed RR crossing arm is the highest fined driving violation in California - higher even than not pulling over for police, fire or ambulances.

There’s a reason they call it the murder train.
