Texas man dies after driving into moving train

A Texas driver who crashed his car into a moving train is dead, leaving behind questions about why he hit the train.  The man was alone in the car when the accident happened, and died at the scene of the accident.

Witnesses and police claim that the man was driving with two flat tires when he smashed into the train.  The driver was driving over the speed limit when the accident happened and police say he may have hit a sign before crashing.

Police stopped the train several miles away from the accident scene.  The conductor of the train, a Kansas City Southern train, was not aware that his train had been hit.

The driver of the car should have had ample warning that the train was approaching.  An officer at the scene claims that the railroad crossing gates were lowered and the lights were flashing to warn drivers about the train.

The medical examiner will conduct toxicology tests on the deceased man to determine if drugs or alcohol played a role in his death.  His identity has not yet been released.
