This is quite sad. I spoke to someone at work who said that the woman driving the SUV was in bumper to bumper traffic and went over the tracks. The barrier came down while she was stopped. She got out of her car and tried to raise the gate. Then she went back into her car and tried to maneuver forward rather than try to break thru the wooden barrier behind her (that someone was screaming to her to do). Then the train hit her causing the SUV to blow up. Killed her and 5 passengers on the train.
