DETALLES:
En mayo 24, 2013, en alrededor 8:47 P.M., officers and EMS responded to an injury traffic collision involving a vehicle and an Amtrak train on Rose Avenue just north of SR-34 (Fifth Street). A la llegada, officers found that a black Dodge Charger had been struck by an Amtrak train and the debris from the collision had damaged a blue Ford Expedition and a silver Toyota Camry. Officers also found a male in the Dodge unconscious.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the Dodge, driven by a male in his 70s, was stopped southbound on Rose Avenue on rail road tracks just north of SR-34 (Fifth Street). The Amtrak train was traveling westbound on the railroad tracks towards Rose Avenue. The Ford, driven by Vera Olivia Vega was stopped at a red light in the number one left turn lane from SR-34 (Fifth Street) to northbound Rose Avenue. The Toyota, driven by Lea Davis, was stopped eastbound on SR-34 (Fifth Street) just west of Rose Avenue.
As the Amtrak train approached the railroad crossing at Rose Avenue, the bells and lights for the railroad crossing arms were activated. Por razones desconocidas, the Dodge remained stopped on the tracks when it was struck by the Amtrak train.
The male driver of the Dodge was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision. Driver Vega and Davis were not injured as a result of the collision. There were no reported injuries among the passengers on the Amtrak train.
It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision.
