Imagine thinking you are safe from the infamous “veered” Tesla, let alone other car crashes, when you stand on an elevated platform waiting for a train.
The crash happened shortly before 3 p.m. on Jan. 22 at the Iron Point Station, near an outlet mall next to Highway 50, the Sacramento Regional Transit District said.
The car reportedly veered off Iron Point Road, hit a tree at the edge of the station’s parking lot, then continued about 60 yards across the lot, clipped a parked car and crashed into the elevated train platform. It struck a person on the platform, then flipped over a railing and landed on the train track.
The person struck on the platform was pronounced dead at the scene, emergency officials said.
