How do cars get stuck on train tracks so often?

In my city, there have been 3 reports of people almost getting hit by trains with their cars on the tracks lately. Also, My fiance’s best friend’s ENTIRE family was killed in this manner several years ago.

I guess I just have a hard time understanding how it happens – I mean, why wouldn’t they be able to just move their car? Or get out of the car? Is there some common denominator as to why it happens when it comes to accidents of this nature?

My guess is that the undercarriage of the car becomes stuck on the tracks after the first set of tires rolls over them. Meaning, the car is too low to the ground to be able to roll back over the track.

People probably get too excited/nervous to think straight enough to get out of the car in time to avoid being hit. Or maybe the seatbelt gets stuck – although I doubt that would happen to a car full of people. Perhaps in that case, it’s a matter of not wanting to leave a loved one behind when you can escape yourself.

Obviously, some people that drive onto the tracks are impaired – drunk or high or whatever and don’t realize they are on the tracks until too late or if they do, cannot safely navigate themselves out of the car.

I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s family – maybe he’d be a good person to advocate for safe traveling near railroad tracks.
