this video should be re-named to train vs trailer. as it never touches the truck at all. next to that, i load these and there is nothing to the trailer lol, and the frame just swings out of the way. and whoever put the lights there is an absolute moron.
I hate people who blame the engineer. "They should stop the train!" No. they shouldnt because if they tried, it'd still eat the truck. so it's the drivers, not engineer's fault.
Hopefully, the city installed a "pre-signal" before the crossing, with "NO TURN ON RED" signs, thus forcing all traffic to stop before going over the tracks. The light would then change before the main signal does, removing any driver's excuse of "But I got caught by a changing signal," for stopping illegally on the railroad tracks.
@Tr2u1ck The strawberries were packed in blue plastic drums, which flew everywhere. One of them bounced up and hit the cut lever, separating the engine from the rest of the train.
@newserid it must have been not worthy to report. i was expecting plywood, pallets and strawberries bursing outof the trailer.. then the train possibly derail. another YT vid shows the aftermath of a BNSF train derailed after hitting a rig loaded with 39k of pizza
The news anchor says about the trailer desinigrating well I am not trying to sound like a smart alike but lady what do you expect will happen when a probably 70 mile per hour Amtrak Train comes flying at something like a semi trailer? Oh I suppose she thought the trailer would just very gently get pushed off the track!! In my opinion like all other train vs. Vehicle accidents this video teaches motorists to never go around crossings. I just hope people get the message.
I agree the truck driver was at fault, but the traffic lights needed to be synchronized with the signal lights at the Rail Road crossing in the first place. By the way, blame women drivers all you want, but the Trains Engineer was also a woman.
the driver was charged because she has a class A driver license. that comes with the territory of being a truck driver, the law will almost always charged the truck driver even if it's not their fault, blame it on the politics, but the rules are there for safety.
Absolutely not. Blame it on the driver who made the mistake.
That's the problem with citizens of the US today. Individuals are no longer responsible for their actions. It's easy to "blame it on politics" or "let the government take care of me".
Horseshit.
This driver was trained, knew the law, and chose to disobey it.
@Boss302fan How about "fault of idiot driver, but with lessons for future civil engineers"? It generally tends to be in everyone's interest to make idiocy (which is always going to happen) less likely to result in disaster (which is harmful to trains as well as stupid truck drivers).
There are some real craptastic intersections out there, but it is totally the truckers responsiblity to be clear of the tracks. And the same is true of any vehicle driver.
wtf it wasnt the truckers fault but of corse they have to charge someone hell they should have charged the guy sitting on his couch the next state over
it was an accident i saw this on most shocking the traffick light showed green then red so the truck driver had to stop on the railrod tracks true story i swear
Truck drivers who are trained at handling such large pieces of equipment should know NOT to enter into a situation where their vehicle is stopped on the track. They either wait to cross when the path is clear, or they find another way around.
This driver chose to pull ahead and stop at the red light with his rig on the tracks. It was, as he found out, a mistake.
Did it say that two people on the train had to be taken to the hospital? WTF is up with that, it maka no sensea (Spelling is not a mistake, it is for effect, so dont send me bitchy messages.)
Trouble with American and Canadian trucking: It's full of under-qualified, third world (literally) drivers who are ruining the industry. This guy was no exception.
Just as the clip gets to the .35 / .36 second mark the truck driver can be seen opening up his door and diving out onto the ground. What a Dummy. I suppose he thought the ringing crossing bell mesnt stop and have lunch and a couple of cold ones !!
Hazmatrubber is 100% correct. This is a design-induced error. Yes, the truck driver is at fault too, but there is no excuse for not interconnecting the traffic light with the crossing light. What a lousy job by the city! Imagine the result if that were a gas truck! Stupid design!
That is the most retarded intersection I have ever seen. No way would I put ALL the blame on the truck driver. The f*cktards that designed that are, well, f*cktards...
Yes, the truck driver was stupid for pulling up to the intersection before knowing she could clear the tracks. But when traffic signals are located this close to a railway track, they should be interconnected with the railway signals so a green light is given to clear traffic between the tracks and the intersection. You can see the stoplight is still red as the train collides with the truck. If this isnt changed its just a matter of time until the next collision.
Man, fugg dat... I'm a truck driver.. in fact, I haul gasoline & diesel fuel... I would've been leaning on my air horn and pulling thru the intersection... red light, green light, black light... Nuns & blind children could've been crossing the street... and I'd have ran over them before I let my truck get hit by a TRAIN!!! sigh... I dunno what that truck driver was thynking...
got to feel sorry for the train engineers.. seeing something like that in the way of the trains path has to be a bad feeling.. I bet the girl in the semi was thinking "oh crap, look at my make-up!!! Those camras are gonna catch EVERYTHING!" while the husbond was getting devorice papers filed :D
that was lucky, and stupid. wasn't able to get out of the train's path? flashing lights and arm lowering means train coming. and everyone knows you never stop on train tracks.
it was stuck at a red light. the driver didnt have enough sense to pull forward, and the DOT didnt have enough sense to do something about such a bad intersection...
Look up "Destroyed in Seconds - Train Crossing" on youtube. It contains an analysis of the crash. Take a look.

@themuffinman12345 I'll go along with that. I stand corrected. It wasn't the "End of the Story".
