These reports certainly leave a whole lot more questions than answers. There could be vastly different legal implications depending on certain factors. Was the other vehicle a commercial vehicle? Was the victim in that vehicle, or on the train? Were they a railroad worker?
These may seem like obvious questions, but it can take people by surprise when authorities are as bad at informing a victim’s family as they are the general public. Hopefully they will be thorough here to make sure nothing important goes overlooked.
