I’m not sure I would have given that award. Grade crossings are inherently dangerous places and I’ve seen more than a few drivers either blast on through them or even stop without looking, even when the trains move fast and there’s a lot of rail traffic. This is just about as true for grade crossings owned by Amtrak, state commuter agencies or private corporations.

I feel sorry for this guy’s family or friends, but I wonder if he stopped, looked, or listened in the final few minutes of his life. If he had, he might still be alive.
