The Train locked the brakes and slid 1/4 mile before hitting the truck and trailer at 40 mph, it dragged the truck and trailer an additional 1/8 mile while tossing 6 vehicles off the trailer along the sides of the track and crushing 3 vehicles underneath the front and sides of the Trains Engine.
Try to beat the train... you might make it you might not.. Is it really worth the few minutes you wait if you dont make it?
Hey yall watch me beat this train....NOT!
This truck driver is very lucky to be alive..
As you can see on the right of the image theres a sign that clearly indicates that its NOT a truck safe crossing. The driver of the truck decided he could beat the train if he had enough speed to "drag" his trailer across the tracks....he was wrong, very wrong..
The Train Engineer that was driving the train when it hit the truck. He said there was nothing he could do but tighten his seat belt and brace for impact. I asked him if he was scared and he said "Nope, not at all, I knew it would be loud but I also knew I would win"..
This is the truck driver filling out the incident report...
This is the truck driver wishing he would have waited the 3 minutes for the train to get by..
