It isn’t clear right now if authorities mentioned the crossing arms jut because they’re being thorough or because they actually have information suggesting there was something wrong with this crossing. I’ve talked a lot on this blog about the importance of considering railroad crossing issues, regardless of how common they may or may not be. If nothing else, someone lost their life here, and their loved ones deserve answers. That’s especially true if an accident happened due to issues which could continue to put lives at risk if they remain unfixed.
