We're the Only Ones on Track Enough

Deputy was rushing to 911 call when his car got stuck on tracks. Then came a train [More]
We had that happen to a couple teenagers a few years back in a nearby town.  The bureaucratic solution: Spending millions of dollars to build a bridge.

I'd like to know how it 'became disabled' on the tracks. Did he crash before the tracks and land on the roof in the middle of the tracks?

Sort of related: Small town near me has RR tracks running through it. If you weren't on the same side of the tracks as the fire station, response times could be 3-5 minutes longer. Solution: Build a 2nd fire station on the other side of the tracks.
The same thing happens to the ambulances, but nobody has suggested building a 2nd hospital yet.
