A 21-year-old man died from his injuries at Louisville hospital after his car was hit by a train in a grade crossing accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His car was hit on the driver\u2019s side by the oncoming train causing it to roll and for him to be ejected. He was initially airlifted to a Louisville hospital for treatment but died the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana State Police Sgt. Stephen Wheels reported that the railroad crossing has crossing signs as stop signs for traffic on CR 775 South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What may have prevented this type of accident? Time to contact a railroad injury lawyer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another grade crossing accident that may have been prevented if it had active warning signals such as flashing lights and gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indiana State Police stated that the grade crossing has crossing signs as stop signs for traffic. The image provided of the railroad crossing by the state police shows only a yellow passive railroad crossing warning, and crossbucks right before the tracks with a stop sign positioned under the crossbuck. There are no indications of any active warning devices like flashing lights or gates. The railroad crossing also appears to have a lot of tall grass and trees around it which may impair visibility of passive railroad crossing warnings, and oncoming trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
