Automobile and Train Collisions Cause Serious Injury and Death; Kansas City Man a Victim

Auto accidents in Kansas City can have deadly consequences.  Getting hit by another vehicle in a collision can put a dangerous amount of stress on your body and can cause serious injury even death.  However when a vehicle is hit by a train, the chances for catastrophic, serious injury and death all increase greatly.  An train accident in Lee's Summit, MO. this week put that risk in the spotlight.

A Kansas City man driving a pick up truck was hit by a train while attempting to cross a track near Thompson Drive and Hamblen Road in Lee's Summit.  The train ripped right through the truck and tossed the driver of the vehicle nearly 30 feet from the wreckage.  The man survived but is currently in the hospital having suffered serious injury in the train accident.

As Kansas City Auto Accident and Injury Lawyers at Roswold Law Group, we know all too well the fatal consequences that can result from a dangerous collision between a car and a train.  Trains are bigger.  Cars and even SUVs don't stand a chance against a powerful machine such as a train.  Never attempt to cross a train track while the signal lights are flashing and the arms are down blocking your path.  It can be unwise to try and gauge the speed of the oncoming train, coupled with trying to weave through the barricade.
