A multi-vehicle crash involving a train is blocking Del. 71 (Red Lion Road) in Kirkwood.
One minor injury is reported.
Del. 71 is closed at the Conrail crossover near Kirkwood-St. Georges Road., which is near Lums Pond State Park. Northbound traffic is blocked at Howell School Road, southbound traffic is being stopped at Kirkwood-St. Georges Road.
The accident happened about 6:40 a.m.
State police and Christiana Fire Company crews are on the scene.
A Hyundai Sante Fe SUV and a Subaru were involved in the crash. The SUV appeared to have the most damage.
The freight train remains stopped across the highway. The crossing has no crossing gates, but the flashing lights remain in operation. SOURCE...
Now people are ramming trains with their cars? jeebus

| | | There seems to be a rash of train incidents lately. Trains versus people and now train versus car, just seems to be a lot being reported right now.

Go by there quite often the lights work, you can't see a train coming from the north, headed south easily but I have never seen a time when the lights were not working properly.

| | | This person was just an idiot and this is a case where the idiot should have to pay the all expenses incurred by the various responding units and the rail company for the time lost. I'm sure an attorney can put a dollar figure on it.

Ever on the look out for new opportunities and promising new ventures, you are willing to take risks if you sense that something is going to be a winner. No matter how much you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied. You always feel you can do more, and set your sights on another goal. You feel frustrated in limited circumstances, and you will leave secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and potential for growth and expansion in the future.
You like to keep stretching your limits, to see how far you can go. Sometimes you over-extend yourself or promise more than you can actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of your own capacities. You relish healthy competition and feel that it spurs you on to even greater achievements.
Your lucky colours are yellow, lemon and sandy shades.
Your lucky gems are yellow sapphire, citrine quartz and golden topaz.
Your lucky days of the week Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday.
