Rail Crossing Seen As Accident Risk

Posted on March 18th, 2010 No Comments

The railroad crossing on 51st street near Airport Boulevard in central Austin will be monitored this week and next as Capital Metro begins its light rail service.

The crossing is viewed as one of the locations with the greatest accident risk because it is positioned near the Airport Boulevard intersection and vehicles often stop illegally on the tracks. The light rail trains run silently and will not be giving a warning horn blast before they enter the crossing.

Austin police plan to monitor this risky crossing over the next couple of weeks and will be issuing tickets to drivers who fail to keep the crossing clear. According to an Austin Police Department representative, the fines will average about $200 per ticket but can be as high as $500.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident at a rail crossing, contact the Austin personal injury attorneys of Vic Feazell, P.C. today at 512-372-8100.

Like operating most heavy machinery, operating a forklift requires both training and experience. Individuals who are licensed to operate forklifts often undergo many hours of training as required by law and their companies.

Even with this training, individuals that operate forklifts still can mishandle the heavy equipment. In some cases, this mishandling can lead to forklift accidents. These accidents present a high chance of leading to serious injuries.
