Orlando SunRail Commuter Train Collides with Vehicle, Injures Driver
The beginning of the workweek was off to a bumpy start early Monday morning in Orlando when 9-1-1 dispatchers first started to receive calls regarding a SunRail commuter train accident that occurred at Lancaster Road close to South Orange Avenue. According to preliminary collision documents from the Florida Highway Patrol, a motorist was attempting to maneuver a turn with their vehicle when the driver accidentally drove onto the railway and became stuck on the tracks in front of an oncoming train.
Orange County SunRail Train Collides with Ford Trapped on Tracks
It was shortly after 9:00 on the night of Friday, August 2nd, that an individual was driving a 2019 Ford along Orange Avenue, close to the intersection of this road with Oak Ridge Road. This area, as many readers may be aware, is also close to to a SunRail line, and at a certain point the tracks even cross over the street. Because of this, there are the requisite crossing signs and signals which greatly aid in the prevention of incidents between the trains and pedestrians and/or cars, but at times there are incidents that render these signs and signals obsolete or useless.
