Description

On the morning of March 18, 1970, Mrs. Virginia Ann Hoops, while driving to her place of employment, was killed in an automobile-train collision at a grade crossing, designated as the Johnson Street crossing, in the city of Kennewick, Washington. The crossing, bordered by residential areas, is one of four within a 2-mile area annexed by the City of Kennewick in July 1967. The first two crossings to the west, Columbia Center Boulevard and Edison Street, were protected by an automatic gate and flasher signals. The next two crossings, Volland Street and Johnson Street, were protected by crossbucks and stop signs. The crossbuck and stop sign at the Johnson Street crossing were mounted upon a pole, 9 inches in diameter, located approximately 10 feet 6 inches from the northerly rail of the railroad tracks. Other traffic control measures at the Johnson Street crossing included a railroad crossing advance warning sign, a "prepare-to-stop" sign and a white stop line situated approximately 10 feet 8 inches from the tracks. Vehicular traffic over the crossing was estimated to be in excess of 1,500 cars daily. The morning was clear and visibility along the tracks to the west was unobstructed for more than a half mile.
