About 5:44 a.m. (local time) on Tuesday, February 24, 2015, a
Metrolink commuter train collided with a truck tractor in combination
with a van semitrailer at an active railroad grade crossing in Oxnard,
Ventura County, California. The grade crossing, located at Rice Road
was protected by a combination of crossing gates, and both post and
cantilever mounted flashing lights. The Metrolink train was identified
as train #102 and was en-route from east Ventura County to Los Angeles
when it struck the combination vehicle at the crossing. As a result
of the crash, four (4) train cars derailed; with three of them
overturning and coming to rest on their sides. A portion of the
semitrailer remained adjacent to the crossing and the remaining
portion of the combination vehicle was carried down the tracks. Thirty
(30) train occupants received injuries of varying degree and no
fatalities occurred. The truck driver was reportedly uninjured.
