This is not my video, but I came across this train video. Very rare for a car to get hit twice by two separate trains. First I've seen of both trains going to same direction with an accident like this. Check it out.

Wow!
i second that.
A woman fleeing police had a miraculous escape on Sunday after her car was hit by two trains.
Police officers tried to stop the 29-year-old woman around 8am after receiving reports of an 'unwanted guest disturbance' at a home in Woods Cross, Utah.
Her Mercedes was hit by an oncoming train as she tried to flee police and while officers attempted to pull her from the wreck, the vehicle was hit a second time by another train that came barreling down the tracks.
The 29-year-old suspect walked away from the horrifying crash with a broken arm on Sunday
Following the first collision, which was caught on the patrol car's dash-cam, officers can be seen rushing to the car to help the woman.
Despite her car being hit by two trains, she walked away from the accident with only a broken arm. No one else was injured in the incident.
Darwin Award?
Got idea. If any freight got damaged in those containers on the second train, the shippers and/or UP should sue the driver......
This was posted a few weeks ago when it happened. Never did hear much more about her, but we raise some dumb ones here in Utah
Being a signal nut that I am, anyone else notice that the gate arm tip and middle lamps flashed in unison rather than normal tip lamp burning steady while middle flashes? Unless they do RR signal things different in Utah.
In Cedar Rapids, CN just completed intallation of new crossing gates. After they had finished and left, the next day I happened by when a train was passing through the new intallation and behold all three gate arm lamps were flashing dim/bright while the mast lamps were simultaneously flashing bright/dim. Called it in to CN who got it repaired that night. Never found out reason but suspect bad/open/crossed connection. Obviously failed after inspection as something so glaring as that could have been missed on casual glance. But then again......
They finally got her in court, she's a prize
