A southbound SunRail train, P319, was involved in an incident north of the intersection of Wetherbee Road and Orange Avenue in Orlando, Orange County, at 12:38 p.m., April 29, 2025, between the Sand Lake Road and Meadow Woods SunRail stations.

For additional information, please contact the investigating law enforcement agency, the Florida Highway Patrol.
We appreciate your efforts to use this incident to remind the public of the importance of rail safety.
Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists must stay alert and take simple precautions around the rail to ensure their safety. Motorists should always keep vehicles clear of the intersection and behind the white line when stopped. This is especially vital when warning signals start to flash at rail crossings and the gates come down. Please use caution at railroad crossings.
Train tracks are not a playground, photo studio, walking path or recreation area. Train tracks are private property. Crossing at unmarked areas, or walking on the tracks, is extremely dangerous and a criminal offense.
SunRail offers these safety tips:
Never stop on the tracks. Stay behind the white line.
Never go around a lowered gate.
Trains can approach from either direction at any time. Always look for a second train.
Avoid distractions near tracks.
Never place objects on tracks.
Obey all warning signs and signals.
Use crosswalks.
