LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - In the United States, a person or vehicle is hit by a train every three hours.
WAVE Photojournalist Michael Williams tagged along with Operation Lifesaver, a non-profit organization and educator in rail safety, and showed just how close calls happen all too often.
The Federal Railroad Administration Statistics said there were about 2,200 highway-rail grade crossing collisions that happened in 2022. 41 of those happened in Kentucky.
