A 17-year-old Bossier City resident was killed at a railroad crossing without crossing arms this Thursday. Lights and bells were reportedly working, but such equipment has malfunctioned in the past. The boy’s Kia Optima was pushed 300 yards from the point of impact. Paramedics attempted to revive him, but the accident was too severe. Another railroad crossing accident occurred here last August, but fortunately the driver survived that crash.

One family is suing Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway over a dangerous railroad crossing in Kern County, California, which claimed the life of their husband and father. They claim the railroad company knew that the crossing was dangerous but chose to do nothing about it. Commissioners for Kern County have improved the road leading up to the crossing, and the railroad company has since put crossing arms up to prevent further train accidents.
