Looks like a local camaro owner lost his life today. I hope it wasn't one of our members on Camaro 6.

It would appear that being inpatient has cost someone their life. What a shame.

BlakeD · 09-13-2016, 08:14 PM

Definitely did. When I see those crossings I can't get far enough away from them.

motorhead · 09-13-2016, 08:19 PM

Why someone would play chicken with a train to gain a few minutes to their destination is beyond me, but it happens all the time. I do agree with the guy they interviewed. The crossing guards should extend the entire way across the road. People are just too dump for their own good.

Darwin award. Won't be missed.

Mama always said, stupid is, is stupid does. And there you have it folks. A waste of a good car..........can't say anything about the driver because I don't know him. Damn shame either way it goes.

I'd imagine that he frequently made bad decisions while driving, probably one of those jerks who cut people off, flipped you off and cussed people out.

No rational (otherwise normal) driver would risk their lives for something minor as waiting for a train.

You're assuming his intention was to beat the train. Maybe he did it on purpose, never know someone's struggle.

SSMY1LE · 09-14-2016, 08:51 AM

They said the driver was a female

CamaroFred · 09-14-2016, 08:57 AM

Most people would be surprised at how many train incidents are suicides.

Go out with a splash!

Fastest 0-60 time ever for a Camaro.

Your an ass.

How can people be so stupid? And it was a female btw. The Camaro isn't exactly a small car like they say on the video.

nosmr2 · 09-14-2016, 09:42 AM

It is amazing how fast a few people can pile on someone, that we know nothing about other than this incident, who made an incredibly stupid decision.

GoldCartridgeGamer · 09-14-2016, 09:49 AM

Article says it was a man. Regardless a sad story. It could have been suicide, just being impatient, or something else entirely. Never judge without all of the info.
