Confused driver ends up on train tracks

Surveillance video from Precise Detailing shows a car turn directly onto the Long Island Rail Road tracks at the Willis Avenue crossing in Mineola. The driver, who managed to get out the car before it was struck by an oncoming train, got confused by GPS directions. The LIRR has seen 21 of these incidents so far this year compared to nine in the first four months of last year. Safety upgrades including reflective devices to clearly identify the 296 grade crossings are already in the works.
