I'm breaking this story before any of the news outlets do it. Right now at Wallingford Station of the R3 Media/Elwyn Line in Wallingford, Delaware County, a SEPTA train was involved in a collision with a vehicle at the crossing. It appears the train was heading westbound towards Elwyn. The person is still trapped in his vehicle. It appears that the vehicle in question tried to outrun the train. If anyone hears anything about this story, please post it here. It's so sad that something like this would happen on Father's Day.

The driver was 90 years old, probably shouldn't have even been driving.

All older drivers should be re-tested. It baffles me as to why people over, say, 70 aren't.

Because to require such a thing would be discriminatory.
