As an Greenville personal injury lawyer, I’m saddened to hear about this fatal train accident. My condolences go out to the victims’ friends and families who are affected by this tragic accident. I urge drivers to always be careful around train tracks. Drivers should never cross the tracks when warning signs are alerting you of an oncoming train. I hope investigators can determine exactly how this incident occurred so a train accident like this can potentially be prevented in the future.
