The bus driver made a fatal decision to race a freight train across active railroad tracks, gambling with over 50 lives in his care. Video evidence clearly shows other vehicles successfully crossing the same intersection moments before, proving safe passage was possible with proper caution and timing. Canadian Pacific Kansas City appropriately called on drivers to respect road signs and stop orders at railroad crossings, emphasizing that driver violations of traffic laws are the primary cause of these accidents. Personal responsibility and following basic traffic safety rules could have prevented this entirely avoidable tragedy.

This tragedy is the result of multiple human errors, including the bus driver's likely failure to follow the rules of the road, as well as a lack of road signage. While it's good to hear the bus company will take care of the victims, this massive loss of life should've never occurred.

Mexico's traffic fatality issue is a national issue that has only increased in recent years. Despite earnest attempts to mitigate these tragedies, such as speed cameras and its constitutional "Right to Mobility" initiative, the government must implement these policis everywhere, otherwise things will only get worse.
