This may include traffic signals, crossing controls, train movements, and drivers’ actions before the accident. Video footage from nearby cameras or onboard equipment can also provide useful details.
Witness accounts may help establish the sequence of events, especially when several vehicles are involved. Investigators may also examine vehicle damage and the positions of the cars and the train.
