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. 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. If you lost a loved one in a Fort Worth train crash, railroad crossing collision, Trinity Railway Express accident, or fatal vehicle wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, mental anguish, lost financial support, and other damages.
