This has been all over the news in Pa. It is just sad. Watch this video.
http://www.wjactv.com/video/16070570/index.html
Now the RailRoad company is playing the blame game while that poor got a concussion and facial lacerations. He could have been killed. I also like how the news jumped on the guy right after he was released from the hospital. He could hardly talk.
There's freaking Wet warped PLYWOOD holding back rocks and dirt!
What are the chances of something like this happening? Jeez.

There is another video, but I can't find it. It shows the pieces of busted stone all through his car.
People sue each other for stupid shit all of the time. If this guy doesn't sue someone he is a fool.

Lies.
That was not the driver of the Camaro....it's quite clear in the video that the man claiming to be the driver did not have a Camaro cut.

First thing I thought when she said he wasn't going to try to get money? Good man.
He's ok, and as long as he's not permanently injured and he's out no more money than before the incident, then why bother trying to sue the pants off somebody? Because you CAN?

These big companies need to open their eyes and start caring about their responsabilities. That bridge is in ridiculous condition and has been for some time.
How long will it be before someone REALLY gets hurt?
Maybe this will light a fire under that railroads ass.
If this guy doesn't sue. then they might not do anything about it. Or maybe they'll throw up a couple more sheets of plywood.
The guy should get soemthing out of this. That is all I am saying.
This to me looks like a clear cut case of neglegence(Sp?) on the R.R.'s part.

It's just nice to see people that aren't out to make a dollar on any law suit they can muster....

Mental anguish? Because he was "almost possibly" killed?
In any case, he'd have to lie about some B.S. about being hurt more than he was, or having mental issues because of it... luckily, he seems like an honest guy.

Essentially, they should pay his medical bills, any time lost from work, and a punitive award for their gross negligence in the construction and upkeep of that "wall".
And why would they have to be lies? If you were driving and got hit in the face with a shit-ton of rocks, you wouldn't feel scared?

They have the same problem with a train company (CSX) in Cincinnati. They have a bridge crossing the Ohio River that is falling apart and has dropped concrete onto sidewalks, roads, and boats.
CSX doesn't want to pay for the repairs and thinks the city should pay for some of it. I hear this is a pretty common problem in all different cities...

i noticed this yesterday as i was driving home, under the tall over passes and such they have netting that go all the way around the over bass on the bottom.

![Angry](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif)
On the news today they showed about 50 people cleaning and scraping up all of the rock and debris from the overpass.
But Norfolk and Western RailRoad claim that "It was just routine maintainance and had nothing to do with the accident on Monday"
See this IS why the guy should sue them. Why not just admit to it? The evidence is in the guys car for Christ's sake!

This hits close to home for me....
anyways I'm not one of those people who want to sue, sue, sue. My dumbass forgot to latch my t-top down one day, and I drove a few blocks then when I went to turn the thing flew off and someone ran over it. Did I sue? Hell no. I was lucky it didn't make someone stop right at that moment and cause an accident.
But in this case, I say he should sue. At least make an example so other companies who overlook things like overpass maintenance. We've all seen those crews fixing and maintaining roads and what not. When was the last time you saw ANYONE working on an overpass? Do they even do it?
The netting at the very least is a good idea. I'd at least expect some damn compensation. A fucking big ass chunk of concrete fell through my roof (I'll speak from personal experience that its at least $120 plus shipping for a nice one... plus the shade which are $30+ and who knows for the hospital bill for that big ass chunk of concrete that just messed up my face.

Here is the new video from the news. This is just ridiculous. Norfolk and Southern are claiming that they are just doing routine maintainance. They are getting rid of the evidence!
