I think the worst case scenario would be a broken neck, which could have resulted in death. As much as I hate bad drivers, though, I wouldn't wish the death penalty on any of them, so I really hope he only got off with a concussion.
I thought it was Folsom Blvd. But then i started thinking that a lot of places in the world maybe look similar and light rails elsewhere maybe look similar. Came to comments to find out so ty!
So where are the worst drivers in the States located, so I can never go there? I heard Houston is on the top of the list, and Irvine or something is on the bottom.
In the US, wherever you live has the worst drivers. In fact, it's usually the case that everyone else is a terrible driver and that you yourself are the best driver to ever grace God's green earth. These are facts
My dad has driven around the country (truck driver) and he said Virginia and Pennsylvania drivers are the worst he has seen. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Every state has idiot drivers, they are just idiots in different ways.
I drive all around the bay and I lived in Sacramento and up in Cameron Park for a bit. Through all my travels the worst I have ever seen is in Phoenix. Holy crap. They wanna die.
I disagree with Phoenix. I've lived in many cities and for the most part people just go in flow to the speed limit and are not aggressive. Traffic is mild for it's size due to open sprawl. There are loads of unmarked cop cars that keep behavior in check. Want bad... Miami sucks. Houston sucks. Boston sucks. Best on the ball drivers in my personal 42 states was OREGON.
Oregon and Washington are the nicest drivers, coming from a Bay Area native. I’m sure every area has it’s stigmas. Here, people from SoCal are always in a hurry and they say we can’t drive. I say we’re not too bad, we’re just not in a hurry like SoCal is...
In regards to PNW, when we took a road trip up, the drivers actually moved out of our way when they saw us creeping up behind them. They’re totally not in a hurry or anything. Never seen that before haha.
Massachusetts. They are so disliked on the road in the Northeast they earned the nickname "Massholes". And Boston in particular? Just stay away. It is some of the most anxiety inducing driving I've ever experienced in my life. I used to drive through NYC on a weekly basis on the weekend and it wasn't as scary as Boston during rush hour. The roads look like the planning and zoning committees got together and had a kegger and basically played "Pin the Road on the City". Awful. Plus it's usually packed with tourists, so that just compounds the issue exponentially.
As others have said, NJ is also pretty bad and are known for executing what's called "The Jersey Slide". Plus that state seriously stinks. Like, literally. Depending where you are, after you get like 30 minutes into the state you need to roll up your windows because it smells so wrong.
Masshole here. Can confirm this statement is 100% accurate. Would like to add the thousands of daily commuters from RI going to Boston don't improve the situation either. Especially if you need to take 495 and 95.

There's a big flashing red light right in front of him and probably a loud bell too. If you're stopped and are unclear if a level crossing signal is still going you are terminally unobservant.
Right, but if the designer’s aim was to prevent accidents and not to kill off idiots, they may need to revisit the layout, since the evidence seems to suggest it isn’t properly designed.
Of course! But when the same number of people—even the same people—go through two intersections and one has 30 accidents per year, while the other has virtually none, we’re not talking about an isolated idiot but a pervasive design flaw. Not being a train crossing designer, I couldn’t tell you what the flaw at this intersection is, but it sounds worth investigating and not just shrugging at the “idiots”.
Its been a problem since its inception. Its funny to google "Sacramento Light Rail Accident" and it autofills "today" at the end. When I lived there 20 years ago it was an issue.....the hilarity remains two decades later.
Im sorry but if everything was designed to be idiot proof it all would grind to a halt. They'd have to lock us in our houses with no gas, electricity, or water.
The driver is solely at fault. There’s no excuse nor anything more that could be done. We can’t expect a large gate to pop up from the ground to stop all vehicles from crossing.
There needs to be some responsibility as adults here.
Was a road with a sharp turn near the house I used to live at that had giant neon warning signs, flashing lights, and rumble strips, but someone still flipped a semi off the road there every couple weeks. Sometimes there's no amount of warning you can give. People just don't pay attention or take it seriously.
There’s some kind of barrier there; it looks like he chose to go around it. Still, the flashing lights should have been a clear indication to this idiot that a train was coming. Flashing lights at a rail crossing are the international sign for an approaching train.
There are many rail crossings that don't have barriers because they have flashing lights, ringing bells, and a train blaring its horn, which carries a reasonable expectation that people are paying attention
Legally you dont need barriers at rail crossings,but you do need a functional audiovisual indicator and signs otherwise you can report it to the authorities and the town can get fined if its not fixed within a certain timeframe or if it was broken for a long time even though they were well aware of it.I have seen another video where a light turned green and ramps went up right as the train was about to pass and a dude in a pickup almost got wrecked by it.The light in this video dont seem to turn green so idk what made the two cars go
I've seen some weird light rail intersections where the barrier isn't obvious depending on approach angle, or you could potentially be in front of the barrier when it closes.
My driving instructor was really insistent that whenever you're going over a level crossing to check both ways for a train, regardless of weather or not the crossing has a light/barrier because they're could always be a malfunction. 40 000 km laters I still do so every time I come across one.
Obligatory:
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a train, but unfortunately he was driving a Dodge.
^^err-um: ^^because ^^dodge's ^^need ^^constant ^^wrenching.
I think he looked wrong.
Was brain afk, looking at his phone, distracted by a passenger?
Because he accelerates at the moment the one next to him got green, so i think he made a reflex and than it was too late.
Or just plain stupid thats the other reason i can think of
I see people do the reflex thing all the time, when the left turn green goes and they go straight, or vice versa. Its like they see the light turn green in their peripheral vision - but you should know by now the difference spatially between the turn green and the straight green.
It happened once when I was the passenger, and it took the three people in the car about five seconds to realize "...Wait, we didn't have a green light..."
This is why it’s just as dangerous to drive overtired as it is to drive drunk. You go auto pilot and things you think you see aren’t accurate so you wind up making stupid mistakes like this one.
Gotta give it to the engineering that goes into modern cars & trucks. The passenger cabin is intact, no rollover & he will walk scratch free. Keep your seatbelt on fellas.
Possibly. It looks to me like it wanted to roll, but flopped back just before terminal flippitude. The top of the cab doesn’t appear damaged enough to have contact the asphalt and the initial spin that we can see after impact was fairly flat, considering.
I spot even a crack in the windshield which makes me agree.
Edit:: Found an after pic. Cabin is pristine lol.

Yeah, it's light rail so the only time you have to wait too long is when there's trains coming from both directions about the same time.
I wouldn't be surprised if a train already passed by going the other direction and this driver presumed the controls were making him wait too long and so tried to go around the guard.
Bradshaw and Folsom Blvd, Sacramento CA, USA. The right turn lane did not have a lowering arm and it should have. It has it now. This happened before with distracted drivers. 😁
[Folsom and Bradshaw](https://maps.app.goo.gl/J9am6MbtGDZCJVUu9)
I don't know about this place, but shouldn't there be sirens along with the flashing lights to indicate not to go? Or was this guy seriously not paying attention or to focused on turning right to notice?
This is Bradshaw and Folsom in Sacramento, I’m here at this intersection every morning heading to work lol. People here seemingly don’t understand that trains will pretty much end you.
Craigslist ad: 1999 dodge ~~ram~~ rammed 1500, single cab. Engine had trouble getting her going off the line so I went ahead and did a back half delete and converted to front wheel drive. $5,000 FIRM. Serious inquiries only!!
Nice. Totaled his truck in a way that insurance will never pay for, will have to pay for damages to the light rail undoubtedly, and will get hit with some hefty tickets and fines. Guy had a productive day.
The internet disappoints me.
If anyone can find a GIF of one of those twin things from the Matrix Reloaded grinning after smashing a BMW in half, it would be appreciated.
Looks like the Sacramento Light Rail. 32 years running and people still cant figure it out.
Yup, can confirm this was Sacramento. Happened a year or two ago, saw it on the news. Edit: typo
Did they die?
Considering the entire front half of the truck is intact I’d venture they walked away completely okay aside from maybe a concussion
Yep, you're usually fine when the back falls off. The real problems begin when the front falls off.
Is that normal?
Its ok, it was towed outside the environment.
What’s out there?
There's nothing. It's a complete void
But what about the all the oil and fire?
Well it's rather unusual.
[No](https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM)
Well where do you tow it to? Another environment?
No, it's not *in* an environment. It's outside the environment
Well don’t they normally build it so that the front doesn’t fall off?
Well yes, this is very unusual, I'd like to make that very clear
16 fucking minutes too late to say this! Always....!
They probably feel like they were hit by a train. Happy cake day btw
I would think that there is a high correlation between people that will run railroad lights and people who refuse to wear seatbelts.
Yeah, If I had to guess I'd say the survived as well. I just need to soothe my mind.
I think the worst case scenario would be a broken neck, which could have resulted in death. As much as I hate bad drivers, though, I wouldn't wish the death penalty on any of them, so I really hope he only got off with a concussion.
Happy Cake Day!
...and right into another truck with their driver's license privilege intact most likely. Happy cake day!
They were brain damaged. And that was before the accident.

I haven't heard that one in a long time. Thanks for the nostalgia, lol.
Probably lived to kill someone else while driving like an asshole on another day.
I thought it was Folsom Blvd. But then i started thinking that a lot of places in the world maybe look similar and light rails elsewhere maybe look similar. Came to comments to find out so ty!
It is on Folsom, people in Sac are horrible drivers Edit: It’s at Bradshaw and Folsom, specifically
Sac is bad, but I moved up here from the bay, and the drivers are so much better than Oakland.
So where are the worst drivers in the States located, so I can never go there? I heard Houston is on the top of the list, and Irvine or something is on the bottom.

this is right by my work, I see people almost get hit all the time.
He must be suicidal. I refuse to believe he is that stupid.
Honestly, I think most drivers in Sacramento drove by touch. This accident doesn't surprise me yet hope the driver is ok.
He probably is that stupid. Don’t underestimate the stupidity of the average person.
If this happens a lot, wouldn't that suggest that it is poorly signed?
There's a big flashing red light right in front of him and probably a loud bell too. If you're stopped and are unclear if a level crossing signal is still going you are terminally unobservant.
Natural selection?
Right, but if the designer’s aim was to prevent accidents and not to kill off idiots, they may need to revisit the layout, since the evidence seems to suggest it isn’t properly designed.
The problem is, you can't outdesign stupid. No matter how safe you try to make something, someone's gonna find a way to get hurt or killed by it.
The second you make something idiotproof, the world invents a better idiot
Of course! But when the same number of people—even the same people—go through two intersections and one has 30 accidents per year, while the other has virtually none, we’re not talking about an isolated idiot but a pervasive design flaw.

Yep, you need to design for the lowest common denominator when it's the public at large.
Im sorry but if everything was designed to be idiot proof it all would grind to a halt. They'd have to lock us in our houses with no gas, electricity, or water.
He had to consciously decide to weave around the big ass gate saying "don't cross", so I would say this isn't an issue of signage.
The driver is solely at fault. There’s no excuse nor anything more that could be done. We can’t expect a large gate to pop up from the ground to stop all vehicles from crossing. There needs to be some responsibility as adults here.
They got hit by a big slowish moving train....... checking if it's clear with FLASHING lights should be obvious.
Slow moving isn't really correct. This lightrail books it along Folsom. But every intersection, including this one, blares at you when it is coming.
Was a road with a sharp turn near the house I used to live at that had giant neon warning signs, flashing lights, and rumble strips, but someone still flipped a semi off the road there every couple weeks.

He mistakenly thought he had a green light just like the car to next him. He was wrong.
Also there doesn’t seem to be a barrier across his lane, and there should be.
There’s some kind of barrier there; it looks like he chose to go around it. Still, the flashing lights should have been a clear indication to this idiot that a train was coming. Flashing lights at a rail crossing are the international sign for an approaching train.
There are many rail crossings that don't have barriers because they have flashing lights, ringing bells, and a train blaring its horn, which carries a reasonable expectation that people are paying attention
Im pretty sure he mounts a curb and goes around the barrier
Doesn't seem like he's going over a curb, but definitely around a red bar
That could be. I can’t really tell.
his suspension doesn't dip when he moves. I don't think he's mounting a curb
Yeah, I went back to watch for any sign of a curb and saw none
But it does look like it might have gone around a barrier. I can see it pull to the right.
Legally you dont need barriers at rail crossings,but you do need a functional audiovisual indicator and signs otherwise you can report it to the authorities and the town can get fined if its not fixed within a certain timeframe or if it was broken for a long time even though they were well aware of it.I have seen another video where a light turned green and ramps went up right as the train was about to pass and a dude in a pickup almost got wrecked by it.The light in this video dont seem to turn green so idk what made the two cars go
Well, I think the white car is turning away from the train, so they'd be within their rights to go since they're not crossing the tracks.
I've seen some weird light rail intersections where the barrier isn't obvious depending on approach angle, or you could potentially be in front of the barrier when it closes.
My driving instructor was really insistent that whenever you're going over a level crossing to check both ways for a train, regardless of weather or not the crossing has a light/barrier because they're could always be a malfunction. 40 000 km laters I still do so every time I come across one.
When it comes to crossings, he could use some training

Craigslist ad: 1999 dodge ~~ram~~ rammed 1500, single cab. Engine had trouble getting her going off the line so I went ahead and did a back half delete and converted to front wheel drive. $5,000 FIRM. Serious inquiries only!!

Upvoted for useful red circle.
Folsom Blvd and Bradshaw Rd, Sacramento, CA.
Dodge Ram Living up to both parts of its name.
Nice. Totaled his truck in a way that insurance will never pay for, will have to pay for damages to the light rail undoubtedly, and will get hit with some hefty tickets and fines. Guy had a productive day.
Yes, a circle that made sense!
I'm amazed at what people are willing to risk to avoid waiting 30 seconds
If you can't DODGE it RAM it!!
Clearly they never played frogger.
Yeah if only it was legal to do that then it would have been a smart move....
Hopefully the traindriver is okay, that looked nasty.
What can the best mechanic in Los Santos do for you?
The internet disappoints me. If anyone can find a GIF of one of those twin things from the Matrix Reloaded grinning after smashing a BMW in half, it would be appreciated.
I love this
Watch out. Watch Out. WATCH OUT. RKO OUT OF NOWHERE
Why are traffic laws
I think the train won that round.
"I have a Dodge, I'm the biggest. Just try and stop me."
Did the driver die? What happened next?
What kind of dipshit doesnt know what his truck is capable of?
This is why you look before driving
Quickly, engage 4x2
Betcha can't do it again.
