BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. — New Mexico State Police is investigating a crash involving a Rail Runner train and a pickup truck that left a man dead.

The crash happened around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday morning on Osuna Road NW in Albuquerque. Police closed off Osuna between Second and Edith for hours. The area reopened around 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Authorities say 90-year-old Phillip Raby was driving the Ford pickup truck. It’s not entirely clear what happened, but State Police say Raby drove under the railroad crossing arm and was hit on the driver’s side. Raby died at the scene.

Several neighbors KOB 4 spoke with believed the railroad crossing arm was malfunctioning, but Rail Runner officials confirmed it was working and was coming down when Raby tried to cross the tracks.

Rail Runner’s director of operations said he reviewed the footage captured from the train and said it shows the lights flashing and the arm coming down.

New Mexico Rail Runner Express Communications Manager Augusta Meyers says Raby was the only person in the car. No one on the train was hurt.

Meyers added that this tragedy highlights the need to be vigilant at railroad crossings.

“We’re constantly doing some type of outreach to remind people that getting too close to the tracks can be a very dangerous and deadly situation. And we remind people to always look both ways as they’re approaching,” Meyers said.

All the passengers on the Rail Runner had to stay until NMSP cleared them. After that, officials with the Rail Runner coordinated transportation to get those passengers to their final destinations.
