[1] On February 26, 2019, at around 7:20 pm, a vehicle containing three passengers drove past a down crossing gate, signaling a train was approaching.

The proceeding westbound train then struck the vehicle, then derailed, only coming to an abrupt stop as it collided into a rail platform.

They were Miguel Angel Jimenez Luna (36) and Saul Martinez Caravantes (28), and Jesus Hernandez.

The three victims all worked together at the same grocery store and were believed to be trying to beat the train after the crossing signals were lowered.

[4][5] As a direct result of the accident, New York senator Kevin Thomas proposed a bill to install security cameras at rail crossings along the line in hopes of identifying other drivers who attempt to cross active rail lines when passing signals are in effect.
