By Ashley Halsey III and Ashley Halsey III Reporter covering national transportation Email Bio Follow Lori Aratani Lori Aratani Reporter focusing on transportation issues, including airports, airlines, and the nation's railroad and subway systems Email Bio Follow March 22 at 12:47 PM The crash in Virginia more than a year ago between a train loaded with GOP lawmakers, headed for a getaway retreat, and a trash truck that had ignored the barriers at a railroad crossing was recounted this week...
One of the three people in the cab of the trash truck was killed; the train engineer had slammed on his emergency brakes but still plowed into the truck at about 35 mph. Another truck passenger was seriously injured, while the 30-year-old driver suffered minor injuries. Four train crew members and three passengers also were injured.
The train’s engineer sounded its horn at a private grade crossing about 1,000 feet before the Lanetown Road crossing near Crozet, Va. The engineer, the NTSB said, “saw the warning lights flashing [at Lanetown] and the refuse truck drive around the lowered gate arms, but he believed the truck had sufficient time to clear the tracks.”
• Three seconds before the impact, the gate arms of the crossing are visible and in the down position, but the truck has stopped. The three people in the cab were not wearing seat belts, and both passengers were thrown from the truck. The passenger in the center seat position died, while the passenger closest to the door was seriously injured. County police identified the dead man as Christopher Foley, 28, of Louisa County.
