Dateline Chicago: Exclusive train video on March 5, 2009, This box truck was hit by a Chicago Transit Authroity CTA brownline train going westbound at Kedzie near Wilson on the northside of Chicago. The crash happen at low speed so no injuries were reported. This clip shows the truck being removed by a tow truck with the crossing gate still embedded in the side of the truck. The Chicago Fire Department and Chicago Police department provided an excellent level 1 response, with many trucks, ambulances and command trucks.

  • Why are some truck drivers such IDIOTS?

    I know many excellent truck drivers.

    Very simple: DO NOT CROSS if not enough space beyond the track.

    Fire department overkill.

    Poorly named video.

    But thanks for the good information.

  • yes, yes it is. this is not a train hitting something

  • @MultiMonster69 Thats a White / Volvo from the 80s or 90s.

  • @Tr2u1ck Thanks, Tr2.  Yes, I drove some. Had to be aware of height when refueling.

    Drivers need to remember to wait until there is space beyong the crossing to pull into before starting to cross. This also applies to regular street intersections.

  • @robertgift Those box trucks, depending on their weight rating, do not require a CDL to operate. Basically, anyone who has a license to drive a car, can drive one of these things if it does not have air brakes.

  • @robertgift repporter looks fine though

  • albany pk neighborhood has the worst drivers in the city, no licences, no insurance, no legal documentation, no english. my cars been hit 4 TIMES! this didnt surprise me
