Delano California Mayor's Brother Killed in Train Accident
November 27, 2007
In a horrific accident on November 26th, a man was killed when his pickup truck was struck by a train, just north of Bakersfield, California. The accident took place at Merced Avenues near Highway 43 between Shafter and Wasco. The time was about 10:15 am.
California Highway Patrol officials now confirm the victim was Martin Ayon Rios, the brother of the Delano Mayor Pedro Rios.
Exact details of the crash are still being investigated. The railroad crossing was not equipped with gates to block traffic when a train passes through. The crossing where the collision occurred is one where state Senator Dean Florez has pushed to the installation of crossing arms. The Kern County Roads Department is due to install gates at the crossing sometime next year.
If you have been injured or a loved-one has been killed as the result of a train accident, contact the California train accident attorneys at The Reeves Law Group for a free consultation.
