Just this week, two different Amtrak trains hit vehicles in the Lakeland, Fl area.

If there was a vehicle on the track when trains came through, it was the driver of the vehicle who was at fault -- not the train. Trains always have right of way at a grade crossing.

Here is an AP video of one Amtrak-car collusion last week in Florida. The car driver drove around lowered gates and was hit straight on by the 80 mph train.
