People disregard signs so this happens.

Train tracks have warning signs pay attention. To many people just don't look

They need to bring back those old "🎶Stop, Look, and Listen 🎶" commercials. Of course then they would need a Spanish, and Creole version...

If the gates were down why walk through expecting the train to slow down

I hope the train is fine and not hurt because of those stupid people who think they can beat a train.

I think this is #51 of fatalities by this train since it started running. A man was killed in Orlando two days ago.

Deadliest track in the nation. Another south Florida milestone we can add to our long list of proud achievements such as, violent crimes, fraud, abuse, and idiot drivers. RIP to the elderly victim.

I was worried you'd say it's mostly been attributed to suicides. It's really tragic.

Here we go I could have sworn they stopped this Brightline train service for sometime due to the amount of deaths it has accumulated since it first started on the tracks. Just seen ads about it coming back recently. Now, there's already news on a death. Wow.

Oh.... Well if the AP reports it....
🤣

Seems like Bright line can't go a week with hitting anyone or anything.

Everyone knows about train tracks 🛤 it's one of our oldest forms of travel... u don't see people stepping out in front of horses when the gates open
