Fire department received a call stating that a train hit a car at the Pulis Ave. railroad crossing in Franklin Lakes. One fatality was reported. The SUV hit the train on the front steps to the cab.

Nothing regarding the symbol, I would have figured SU-99 because of the time it happend. The train was slow moving so WS-5 would make sense considering there is a siding right by the crossing.

Yeah, I heard about the whole situation on scene from one of the firefighters that was there. Wasn't pretty.
