All five victims were in the vehicle and were attending an event near the train route, said East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Marshal Steve Aubert. The two people injured, an adult and a child, were airlifted to local hospitals and sustained major injuries, he said.Aerial video of the scene from CNN affiliate KPIX shows a crumpled silver vehicle at rest near the train tracks.
"It's in the rural part of our district, so it's a lot more farmland out there," he said."There are no crossing arms, there are no signals at that crossover, and it's not the first accident that we've been to at that same spot. Trains are allowed to go up to 80 miles-per-hour along that stretch so it doesn't take long for a train to catch up right at that crossing there.
We need to renovate our train system! AmtrakDerailment and this!
How are there still railroad track crossings with no crossing gates.
I don’t get how these continue to happen. Why do people stop on tracks? How do you not see a train coming? Doesn’t make any sense.
3 train wrecks being reported on within days of each other. The Amtrack that was in MO. I understand, the other two? Trying to cause fear amongst people? CNN you should be ashamed. Stick to REAL NEWS.
Isn't that 3 Amtrak derailments? Tampering?
'Rural' Brentwood is an oxymoron.
That’s why you don’t sit on the tracks
Tragic, but proof that you don't win with a train. Stay off the damn tracks!
Sucks but the driver of the car was at fault, unfortunately the passengers also paid the price.
Cggjkkz
Ban guns
Sorry to this people probably thier not familiar the road,Condolence to the whole family
Not the Amtrak’s fault. People need to be more cautious when driving. Especially if they have passengers in the vehicle with them.
An Amtrak train collides into a truck at A intersection without crossing arms in Minden Missouri today wow slow down Amtrak...An put up some warring light's...💯💯
Thank God, things are Looking Up VP Harris the Abortions Czar. She is the most incompetent person out of the whole administration she’s still trying to find the root causes of the border not to mention all the other things she was assigned nothing got done!
CCP lame stream media subsidiary claimed protests were peaceful which they weren't. They held Arizona state lawmakers hostage inside the capital building tearing down the fence & breaking windows to get inside. Protesters in California attacked vehicles on the freeway with sticks
Our leaders are failing us and thereby put the masses at risk.They are much more concern about helping governments and leaving the American people with a crumbling and failing infrastructure
Gross ignorance for public safety. God will never accept this kind of negligence for people. We make governments for public safety as well. Government must love and adore its people. It must never play with public's lives and safeties. Poor victim family.
Srsly? An Amtrak? No railroad cross markers?
The train collided with a vehicle? I’d say the vehicle was not paying attention while crossing the tracks.
Maybe pass Biden’s Build Back Better plan which can improve rail, roads, infrastructure. LeaderMcConnell SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi get together on this. Not only jobs but safety.
A driver in a passenger vehicle passing through an intersection without crossing gates in rural Brentwood, California, collided with an Amtrak train, killing three people and causing major injuries to two others on Sunday. Fixed it for you.
WE NEED SENSIBLE TRAIN REFORM!
When you see train tracks you should assume there could be a train. Just like cars drive on the street. These people tried to beat the train.
On the west nothing new
This is horrible 😳😳😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭
Motorist fails to yield to train. that should be your headline.
Saving money?
You make it sound like it's the trains fault..
Why would there not be a crossing gate?
Hunter Biden?
Amyrak sucks
Trains always get the right of way, respect crossings
Rest in piece🙏🏿
People take risk playing with their own family friends lives view is clear so they see a train 🚂 is coming. No excuses
Breaking News on a Monday afternoon about a Sunday accident.🤔
I bet it is a minority community. They never get the good RR crossing with the flashing lights and cross bars to stop traffic when a train is approaching. Maybe they undercut education too and canceled drivers Ed which teaches you to treat these types of crossings a 4 way stop
Headline written as if it’s the train’s fault… 🤦🏻♂️
🤷🏽♂️
Why are there no crossing gates?
OMG so tragic! I am always super careful when crossing rail tracks!
RIP Amen
god we need real passenger rail infrastructure
