FOX 2 has obtained surveillance video of Thursday's fatal car-train trash in Canton Township that killed five people.

Authorities say a 19-year-old man with a suspended license was driving the sedan in which he and four other young people died after it skirted a gate at a railroad crossing and was struck by an Amtrak passenger train .

Click the video player to the left to see as the victims' black Ford Fusion enters from the left of the screen. After it passes a tree, the train enters the shot from the right.

FOX 2 has also learned that the driver maneuvered around a stopped car at the tracks and around a crossing rail.
