Three Train Crashes Occur in One Day
Monday was a bad day to be near train tracks across the country. Three separate incidents occurred throughout the day, leaving six people dead in three cities. Crashes occurred in Salem, Oregon, Poteau, Oklahoma, and Cheraw, South Carolina, which is outside of Columbia. Amtrak operated the trains in Oregon and South Carolina, where the men killed were sitting and standing on the tracks. In Oklahoma, the train operated by Kansas City Southern struck a car as it crossed the tracks.
It is always important to be vigilant when around train tracks. Often, trains are not able to stop efficiently, and if you take a risk near a train you may be hit and killed. If you or a loved one has been injured by a train, plane or any automobile, you may be legally entitled to fair compensation. Plattner Verderame, PC will be happy to investigate your potential claim.
