A 5-year-old boy was killed and a man was injured after a train collided with their vehicle in Fort Worth on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, officers responded around 3:45 p.m. near Elliot Reeder Road and Colony Court, near the Fort Worth and Haltom City line. Police said the preliminary investigation indicated the adult driver attempted to pass an activated train barricade at a railroad crossing before the train struck the vehicle. The child was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man was taken to a nearby hospital. The Trinity Railway Express commuter train was involved, and service was disrupted while officials investigated and cleared the tracks.
Why This Matters
Fatal railroad crossing crashes require careful investigation because the consequences are often devastating. Investigators may need to examine the crossing signals, barricades, warning lights, train speed, horn use, sight lines, driver conduct, road design, maintenance history, and whether any mechanical or visibility issues contributed to the crash. Evidence such as train event recorder data, crossing signal records, surveillance video, witness statements, police findings, vehicle damage, and railroad maintenance records may be critical in determining what happened.

Southbound Dallas North Tollway Closed in Dallas
A three-vehicle collision shut down all southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway at Royal Lane in Dallas during Thursday morning’s rush hour. According to Dallas police, the crash happened at approximately 8:20 a.m. near the 9800 block of the Dallas North Tollway. All southbound lanes were closed while police and emergency crews responded to the scene. No one was transported for medical treatment from the crash scene. However, the extent of any injuries remained unknown. What Happened in the Dallas North Tollway Crash at Royal Lane? Dallas police said three vehicles were involved in the collision. The crash occurred near Royal Lane during the morning commute and forced a complete closure of the southbound tollway. Authorities had not yet released additional details explaining how the vehicles collided or whether any driver was cited. Because the investigation remains ongoing, no conclusions should be drawn about fault. Evidence That May Matter After a Dallas North Tollway Collision When several vehicles are involved in a highway crash, determining the sequence of impacts can become especially important. Potentially relevant evidence may include: NTTA traffic or surveillance-camera footage Dash-camera recordings Crash-scene photographs and video Vehicle damage and final resting positions Witness statements Electronic vehicle data Cellphone records when relevant The investigating officer’s crash report Video evidence may be particularly useful in a multi-vehicle collision because it can help show which impact occurred first and how each vehicle moved before and after the crash. Why a Three-Vehicle Crash Can Lead to Disputed Liability Insurance companies may disagree over responsibility when several vehicles are involved in the same collision. One driver may claim another vehicle changed lanes, stopped unexpectedly, followed too closely, or caused the first impact that pushed vehicles into one another. Physical damage, video, electronic data, and independent witnesses can help reconstruct the sequence of events rather than relying only on conflicting driver statements.
