STATE CENTER, Iowa (KCCI) — A van in Marshall County narrowly avoided a collision with a train after crossing railroad tracks despite warning signals, according to a video posted by the State Center Police Department.
The driver initially stopped, then weaved around the arm blocking the railroad. The train passed by just seconds after the van crossed.
State Center police said they are still looking for the driver. They emphasized the importance of stopping at crossings, reminding the public that “your life is more valuable than the few minutes saved.”
