Its a REAL train....

Sadly last night, one of my workmates was involved in a car vs train accident, he was driving the train.

The car ran a red light at a freeway exit near The Great Mall in Milpitas & was struck by the train & dragged almost 400 feet. The car drived was killed as a result of a moments stupidy, and only 2 weeks before Christmas.

This is a fairly common occurrence with cars in the San Jose area.

Please people...think...for just a moment before saying..It's just a Light Rail train, they aren't "REAL" trains...

The sad reality is these things weigh 50 tons, and are solid steel....and do a lot of damage when they hit cars
