Duncanville teen dies after train strikes car

A Duncanville teenager was killed last weekend in a wreck in Oklahoma when the car he was driving was struck by a train. The young man was on a trip to visit family about 180 miles northwest of Dallas, and was the only person in the car when the tragedy occurred.  Investigators say that the car was drug for several blocks before the train was able to stop.  The teenager died of his injuries a short time after the accident.  It is unclear at this time whether the railroad crossing was properly marked or functioning properly.

At Least 18 Killed in Train Collision in Los Angeles, California

Recently, the AP reported a tragic train wreck that killed 18 people. According to early reports, a commuter train hit a freight train head on. It is often difficult to tell early on what the cause of the collision may have been. However, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the importance of an early, thorough investigation into the crash. Inevitably, lawsuits will be filed in response to this deadly wreck. Any time suit is filed, liability is often a hotly contested issue. If the evidentiary state of the crash site is left in tact, it tends to shed more light on what actually happened. If you or a loved one has been involved in a train wreck or train collision, our lawyers would be happy to provide you with a consultation and explain the legal nuances involved in the aftermath of a deadly train crash. Fears | Nachawati Law Firm, Toll Free Phone 1 (866) 705-7584.
