How did Eric Boehlert die?

[CentralMass]

184. I until recently lived near near two commuter rail stops out near Portland Oregon.

Over the first 3 or 4 years there were at least 4 or 5 bincidents of people being hit by the train. It is called the Max line.. Oe guy was a young guy in his 20'jiggigging with headphones. I used to jog on the sane road. There is a crossing with gates on both sides of the urban 4 lane road. He waited for the train to go by and started across before the gates were up and git struck by the train coming in the opposite direction on the other track.. I jogged by a little memorial everyday after tgat.. There was another young girl hit at the stop/crossing around the corner from there.. she was badly injured and lost a leg but survived. She also hand earbuds or headphones on. She sued the transit authority frr 2 or 3 million ans it forced them to put gates on the side walks. But frankly it is sheer stupidity and carelessness on the people being hit. The are closed traffic gates across the road, flashinre light , dinging bell and signs. I'm old,, half death and sometimes wear headphones and even I can see,, hear,, feel the trains and obey the warnings.
