Poor Cascades...
Can't catch a break. First a jogger in Tacoma is killed literally running into a train, and now a car "dies" on South Lander Street in SODO, Seattle. Sigh.
From KOMO.

The train involved was northbound #516, which runs Portland-Seattle-Vancouver. The incident also affected southbound #509 Seattle-Portland-Eugene, which was held in Seattle until the incident was cleared. The last southbound Sounder commuter train was also delayed.

Not surprising to me, it was an SUV involved, not a car. Update from KOMO, 11/24/15:
Driver bails out seconds before Amtrak train plows into SUV
The driver of an SUV is lucky to be alive after the vehicle took a huge hit from an Amtrak train in South Seattle, police said.

And judging by the fact that it didn't have license plates yet, it appears it had just been picked up new at the near-by SODO Honda of Seattle showroom. Way to go! NOT!

That might have been a Test Drive. Mission accomplished!!
