Woman had just bought the new stick shift Infiniti and was learning how to shift when she stalled on track as train rounded the bend. Interesting view of cab plus track ahead view, AFTER getting past the annoying commercial ABC throws in.

If this had been me I would have gone to a big parking lot learning this cars shifting, even if I had driven shifters all my life, so if I stalled, no harm, no foul. But that's just me.

Looking at the aerial of the intersection where the accident occurred it appears she crossed the tracks and got stuck behind another car, then stalled. She violated the #1 rule: "Never cross tracks unless you have enough room on the other side." Crushed it like a soda can.
Sucks to be her. The car insurance will not be paying the purchase price of that one for sure!
Train vs Car. Darwin wins!
SunRail in operation only a couple of weeks and already two crossing incidents.

She should've learned to drive a stick BEFORE buying one....
