Thorsby, Alabama grade crossing accident
Prod notice removed by. Yet another non-notable car crash. Notability is not temporary, and without a proper assertion of it, the proper coverage of this is at February 2007 in rail transport and List of rail accidents (which covers road crossing collisions).

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a newspaper, per WP:NOT. This accident killed four people. 40,000 people or so are killed in the US alone each year, and 1.2 million a year worldwide. We do not need the eqiuvalent of hundreds of thousands of articles a year detailing each fatal car wreck. Edison 16:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete another unfortunate but not notable traffic accident. Carlossuarez46 18:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, nothing to distinguish this accident from the thousands of others that happen all the time. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 19:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
