The deputies also say the black Cadillac Escalade was on its way to a quinceañera party when the driver crossed the unmarked tracks, had no arms and just a stop sign before being hit by the freight train.
"The word devastating doesn't even begin to describe the tragedy that unfolded here," said Sheriff Chad Chronister through a press conference. "Hillsborough County lost a family today, and our hearts are shattered."
