This happens with some frequency in Ramsey for whatever reason
A continuing problem there with several fatalities in the recent past. The rail line has basically blocked any vehicle or pedestrian from the intersection with mechanical gates, repainted street warnings, signage, you name it. Yet, some dope still tried to go around it. I guess you can’t fix stupid. Her own fault; glad she is safe, but she needs to be prosecuted and fined. Thank goodness Brady’s at the Station was unharmed.
