FOLSOM, Calif. -- A vehicle and light rail train collided Monday evening in Folsom.
Folsom police said the collision happened on Folsom Boulevard near Iron Point Road.
No one was injured, Folsom officials said.
Stay tuned to KCRA 3 and refresh KCRA.com for the latest information.
All I can say is I am glad that no one was injured, but gosh darn people are STOOPID.
No one is ever going to win that battle. Wake up folks.

Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and including their life".
That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

"Fell asleep" sounds pretty weird. I'd believe "passed out" - there are lots of reasons someone might pass out - but fell asleep?

I thought that falling asleep part of the report was odd, too. I know it can take a while to get through that light if there's traffic, but isn't most of that cleared out by 7:30?

Didn't witness it, but after eating dinner with the fam. at Chili's last night, we got stuck and were the second car back from the guardrail that was lowered and not going anywhere. Fortunately, there was a space for us and the other cars around to do a u-turn and head back up iron point or we would have been there a really long time.
I'm glad the people were safe, I find the falling asleep thing weird too.

I have a boss that suffers from some kind of sleep disorder. He can fall asleep mid conversation.
I would rather be Backpacking

My folks watched the incident unfold as they were driving home last night, they actually called me as it happened or right after. They said it looked like a Mini Cooper got hit by a light rail train. I was trying to picture how that was possible as there usually is a barrier and somewhat of a minute or more delay before the train goes by? Crazy times we live in, be careful out there, first the mother and the kids a few weeks ago and now this.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
"Wow! What a Ride!"

Narcolepsy... Dyssomnia..? Worked with a guy that would go to sleep in the middle of a conversation. You'd see it happening right in front of you... Thought he was joking around at first, but, not. Dr.'s squared him away with med's, and after quite some time with treatment he didn't need the med's anymore. It was nuts.

What a perfect excuse to giver your boss for a few months of shamming....
-seriously though.....wouldn't your drivers llicense be revoked by the doctor (via communication to the DMV) if the doctor found out you were experiencing loss of conciousness episodes?
