Oh, my. Wasn't center-of-mass, but still. Ed |

Hope the driver had the presence of mind to get out. Looks like a direct hit on the tractor.

Looks like the driver cut the corner too short, ran off the edge of the road, and then got high-centered on the crossing along with everything else. Adding insult to injury, the high-center warning sign is clearly visible.

Lots of these trains hitting semi's with loads or trailers on YouTube. Assuming the driver survived I assume they are fired or worse.

He was still in the truck spinning the tires as the train collided with it. I'm sure fired and likely will never work anywhere in trucking again.

He was still in the truck spinning the tires as the train collided with it. I'm sure fired and likely will never work anywhere in trucking again. A witness (Sonya Pitt) was quoted as saying: "He jumped out of the truck and the train was coming. And maybe five seconds later the train hit and destroyed everything." One of the videos shows him "leaving the scene" before the crash. Ed |
