At 9:11 am this morning, Rescue 20 was special called to assist Company 19 (Lansdowne) on an accident with entrapment in the area of S. Union Ave. and the SEPTA Media-Elwyn Regional Train. Rescue 19 arrived first, confirming a vehicle under the front of the train with the driver still trapped inside. The train had also pushed the vehicle approx. 100 yds. east, into Upper Darby Township, so additional Township companies were added to the job. Rescue 20 took the parking lot of the Giant at Church and Baltimore, which allowed direct access to the accident through a fence in the rear of the store. As Rescue 20 arrived, Rescue 19 was completing the removal of the rear passenger door. Rescue 20’s crew then assisted EMS with accessing the patient, removing her from the vehicle, and packaging her for immediate transport. Rescue 20 was back in Drexel Hill shortly before 10 am. ...

According to Septa via CBS3, an outbound train going towards Media had just completed the crossing but the gates remained down as there was an inbound train coming, which struck the car. Septa says surveillance shows several vehicles drove around the gates before this one got struck. Always gotta make sure there isn’t more than one train coming.

Too many people in a rush to get nowhere! Look what they do with stop signs and school buses…

The news said the bars were down, lights flashing. The driver drove to get around the barriers and didn't time getting across right. What could be so important that you would even think of doing something like that??? Hope the driver survived, but that whole scenario doesn't look too good.

Gabrielle Lang as a new driver please take note. Never, ever, ever go around the railroad crossing gates when they are down.

Why would you put yourself in this situation? The barriers and lights are there for a reason.

Sadly I believe that person passed.

Dangerous tracks There were people killed there when I was a child one girl lived 2 doors from railroad .

So stupid. Why and what was more important to get to by going around the flashing and down gates?

So sad the driver didn't survive. I gotta say, from my experience drivers of Nissans are more aggressive than other drivers.

And I spoke to police and it was a man.

🙏🙏🙏prayers for her

May God Bless all of EMS workers everyday. And many prayers for the Victim's family members. So sad.
