Light rail crash video

// January 9th, 2009 // fun

Those of you who live in Phoenix know about our new “mass-transit” system called the Light Rail. Well, it was only up a week and a half before the first collisi0n with an automobile occurred.

And there is video!

I thought they were worth passing on. Watch after the jump.

Clip one, from the front of the train:

Clip two, the left front of the train, where you get a good shot of the truck spinning after being hit.

Read about the whole thing on AZCentral.

    I saw some of the video on the news tonight. I wondered how long it would take for something like this to happen. The news had said there was some sort of malfunction in the crossing gate.
