Last night's Palmetto hit a car. Someone drove around the crossing arms and killed 4 people including a 12-year-old.

I can't even try to get my head into the thought-process of people who do this. I have never in my life, even as a reckless teenager, thought it would be a good idea to try to drive around a railroad crossing. And I don't even remember needing to have this drilled into my head via Operation Lifesaver PSAs, etc. And with a kid in the car!?? Amazing.
Side question: does the Palmetto typically only carry 20 passengers? That seems quite low for a daily train...
