Hope this isn't a re-post......Read this earlier on yahoo.....This is really sad....Poor Guy and Poor Shelby......I really don't understand why you would try and beat the train like that by running through the barrier that already came down to block the tracks.....

Here is a link for a short video from the police and reporters....

The reporter asked if the officer thought it was a suicide and I was thinking the same thing. The witness said the gate came down on his windshield, he backed up then drove through. Sounds suicidal to me.

I love it when people take it upon themselves to decide what exactly happened in situations like this. No need to even read the article when they have it all figured out from the get-go! :rock:

people take unecessary risks all the time while driving, he just got caught by one. people will do just about anything to save a few seconds while driving and risk not only their lives but other drivers around them.

I just wish he would have taken a Crapmaro out with him and not the top of the food chain.

RIP GT500
