Houston's metropolitan transit police released surveillance footage to serve as a warning to people who might think they could try to beat an oncoming train.
The light was red and the protective gate meant to keep cars from crossing the train tracks was down. Still, an SUV with four people inside last week tried to squeeze by, and failed.
The commuter train slammed right into the passenger side.
